English translation:test of HCG levels
Explanation:

... or simply HCG test. Human chorionic gonadotropin is a hormone only produced in the body during pregnancy, and insufficient levels of HCG are one cause of miscarriage. For this reason, HCG levels may be tested during early pregnancy to see what risk of miscarriage there is, and I guess this is the "Kontrolle" referred to here.

HCG is also tested for to establish whether a pregnancy actually exists, but I never heard a pregnancy test referred to in this way. Still, you\'ll know what\'s right for you from your context.
