Trial Information

Summary: The University of Chicago Reproductive Loss Project (RLP)

Reproductive loss is a prevalent health problem that affects many couples trying to establish a family. Reproductive loss includes recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), recurrent in vitro fertilization (IVF) failure and fetal demise (FD). There are many unanswered questions in regard to factors and management of reproductive loss. This project involves collection of information, and blood and urine samples from women and their partners with a history of reproductive loss which will be used for future research in reproductive loss.

Eligible individuals seen at the University of Chicago’s Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Program will be asked to participate in this project.

Participation Details
Women with a history of reproductive loss, consisting of either:

• Recurrent pregnancy loss, defined as two or more pregnancy losses at any gestation age,
• Fetal demise - (10 weeks gestation or greater), or
• Recurrent IVF failure defined as at least two previous embryo transfers, each of which resulted in failure of implantation or a miscarriage at 8 or less weeks of gestation.
