How to go about getting genetic testing for my husband and I??

Most everyone knows how many miscarriages I've had and having one now. I'm tired of waiting around for doctors when they keep saying nothing is wrong with me. I have to do something about this I can't just sit around and wonder "what if" all the time. My question is does anyone know how me and my husband can get a genetic test to see if my miscarriages are from a chromosome problem? I really want this I NEED TO KNOW. Since nothing shows up in my blood or urine i thought maybe this kind of testing will show something.. (its worth a shot) I do have a son so I'm not sure if a genetic problem would have effected him or not.( i really hope not) This seems like its all thats left to test. I will be living in missouri soon so if someone can tell me when or how to do this i would really appreciate it.. thanks in advance.

best thing to do is see what blood type you both are. maybe you and your  hubby are - matches. this can cause miscarriage BUT I do know very, very well that uterus issues are in most cases the fault. I was told i have a Y shaped uterus. Sometimes inplantation (implantation) later can cause miscarriage. Maybe your cervix cant handle the pregnancies? my aunt had to get hers stiched at 2 months to prevent the loss of her babies.
I am really sorry about your loss and how many you have had. I hope things workout for you and your hubs.

My blood type is O negative my husbands is A positive. My uterus has been checked. and found nothing wrong with it. I am currently on my 13th miscarriage, I'm almost  21 years old. I do know i can have a healthy baby since i have a son. But with the miscarriages its really odd. The growth just stops around 5 weeks sometimes alittle later. Even if i carry past 3 months the growth still shows around 5 weeks. I dont understand! I want another baby I love kids, I've always wanted to be a foster mom and have 2-3 of my own kids. And the doctors have found nothing in my blood. The only thing done differently with my son was i had started spotting at 3 weeks with him and the doc gave me rhogam and watched me very very closely and i carried my son full term. Hes not the healthiest but at least hes here. He came out very sick and hes alot better now. Hes 2years old now. I feel very lucky to have gotten him and wonder why i cant carry another baby.. I always get pregnant back to back off a miscarriage but the doctor said that shouldnt mess up anything. I had my first miscarriage right before i turned 17. I'm young this shouldnt be happening!

hmmmm......... interesting!!!

All i know that causes this is genetic abnormalities and of course LOW hormone levels.
You have had tons of tests done right? =/ I know that STD's cause mc, (most likely why I lost mine due to Trich. I didnt even know I had but Treating it now)
most likely it maybe hormone level issues???
