    The question is:

    Can you do a DNA testing on a fetus that is only around 1-2 months?
    I know it doesnt have a heartbeat yet.
    When is the best time to do DNA testing?
    Thanks peps!!more power!!

    Although not a doctor, I know DNA testing can be done even if the fetus is 1-2 months old. DNA tests doesn't depend on the fetus having a heartbeat.

    The problem might be actually be finding the fetus to get enough genetic material to do the DNA tests on. Given the early stage of the pregnancy, It might be safer for the fetus if genetic material would be harvested from the placenta.
