This is a project aimed at better understanding the endometrium (lining of the uterus) in women who have experienced an early pregnancy loss (Either as a late miscarriage or a preterm stillbirth). This will be achieved by collecting menstrual fluid from these women to see if we can predict these outcomes through menstrual fluid.
