Recurrent miscarriage currently pregnant, should we directly perform amniotic fluid chromosome testing?

Patient's question:

There have been five cases of fetal demise, all without a heartbeat in the first three months. This time, progesterone was administered from the beginning of pregnancy, which is relatively normal. An early Down syndrome screening has been done and it was normal. The doctor recommended today to have an amniocentesis and DNA screening.
Six pregnancies, one was an induced abortion.

Doctor's answer:

The current situation suggests that the baby is unlikely to have chromosomal abnormalities, but it cannot be completely ruled out. Due to repeated miscarriages, the doctor recommends amniocentesis. It is recommended to follow the genetic counseling advice or consult with multiple experts.
