Are you experiencing Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) or Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF)?

We are looking for individuals to participate in a research study about how the immune system tolerates a growing embryo.


Why this study?

We do not yet fully understand how the immune system learns to accept a pregnancy.

This study will explore whether immune training begins before pregnancy with exposure to semen.

Who can participate?

Couples or partners (intended genetic co-parents) experiencing: Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) or Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF)

What’s involved?

  • From female participant: 1 blood sample
  • From male (sperm-producing) partner: 1 blood sample + semen sample
  • Time commitment:
    • 15 min initial screening & enrollment visit
    • Sample collection scheduled at your convenience

Benefits & Confidentiality

  • Compensation: $30 gift card for each participant
  • Confidentiality: All study data will be kept confidential
  • Treatment: Participation will not affect your clinical care
