What an interesting study about recurrent pregnancy loss! I think it’s a very interesting study- it’s the type of thing where I could see the merit of participating but also could see how it could just be a lot to provide all the samples to do all the genetic testing. None of my miscarriages had any tissue that they were able to test, so I have zero answers, just a guess that the embryos were abnormal (and with my most recent miscarriage at age 35, the idea that it was mostly due to my AMA). I did see UCSF was involved, and one of the parents of a baby in my class works there in infectious diseases (she works in California for weeks at a time and then will return- it blows my mind how she somehow managed to use breastmilk for nearly 10 months, daughter is 1 now and working to wean to whole milk, and her mom is gone so often).
