The karyotype test is to check our chromosomes. It seems based on how our embryos fertilized and the fact that they grew so slow and arrested early that one of us or both of us may have some chromosomal abnormalities. It will also check to see if we are carries for things like CF and MS, etc.

So, assuming since your DH gave so much blood, it was for the karyotype test. Did they do any testing on the actual embryos that "arrested"?
