Most miscarriage research begins after a loss. The Delphine Foundation funds work at the other end: whether screening and treating conditions before conception lowers the chance of losing a pregnancy at all.
Iron deficiency, thyroid disease, diabetes and several other conditions are common, quiet, and treatable. Each is associated with pregnancy loss. What is not yet established is how much of that loss is avoidable by finding and correcting them in the months before conception rather than after a pregnancy has already begun.
Answering that takes studies that start before pregnancy does, which means reaching people before they are patients. That is the hardest part of this kind of research, and it is the part you can help with.
Preconception research runs on people who put their hand up before anything has gone wrong. If you are open to hearing about a study you might join, leaving your address takes ten seconds and costs you nothing.
Leave your address to hear about preconception studies as they open. This does not enroll you in anything, there is nothing here to consent to, and you are never committed to taking part. We may also send occasional updates on new research and changes to guidance.
Not a study sign-up. Unsubscribe any time; we will not share your address.
Signing up is not consent to take part in research. If a study opens that you might be eligible for, we will write and tell you about it; whether to take it any further would be entirely your decision, and would begin with a proper consent process run by the team conducting it.
