The purpose of this study is to explore the optimal treatment strategy for retained products of pregnancy. Compared with surgical treatment, prospectively observe whether drug-assisted expectant management until the right time for surgery reduce the occurrence of intrauterine adhesions, and thus protect fertility.

RECRUITING

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the therapeutic effects of the conservative treatment approach on pepole with retained products of conception (RPOC) and Enhanced myometrial vascularity (EMV). The main question it aims to answer is: Is it possible to achieve the natural resolution of RPOC by combining it with EMV through conservative treatment? Participants will receive conservative treatment (such as mifepristone, GnRH-a, or expectant management) following the initial diagnosis of RPOC and EMV, and the therapeutic efficacy of the conservative approach will be assessed after the completion of two menstrual cycles.

At present, there is no unified standard for the treatment of missed abortion in clinical practice. This study intends to collect clinical data of this type of disease to compare the efficacy of different treatments, and on this basis, presuppose the synergistic effect of different doses of estrogen in the process of drug induction, conduct statistical analysis of the efficacy, evaluate whether the treatment plan can achieve the therapeutic effect while reducing the occurrence of complications, and provide an effective basis for the subsequent clinical treatment of missed abortion. This study is divided into two parts. The first part is a retrospective analysis to explore the differences between missed abortion surgery and drug treatment, clinical efficacy and reproductive outcomes; the second part is a prospective study to explore the effects of different doses of estrogen combined with surgery or drug abortion on the efficacy of missed abortion in early pregnancy, and explore the best clinical treatment method for missed abortion.

The overall purpose of this study is to better understand the health and well-being of women before and after they become pregnant and of their infants. This information will contribute to the understanding of the health needs of women and their children, which may help doctors provide mothers and children with better care in the future. Participants in this study will be visited four times a year (every 3 months) for up to three years in total. At each visit a review of their medical records, a brief physical exam and urine pregnancy test will be conducted. Participants will also answer survey questions and self-collect vaginal swabs for future testing. We will enroll up to 5,500 women and include any infants that are born to them during their study participation.

RECRUITING

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of early initiation of double low-dose aspirin in pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does this dose and timing of aspirin reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia compared to standard recommendations? Does this dose and timing of aspirin reduce the risk of pregnancy loss compared to standard recommendations? Participants will begin taking at no later than 6 weeks 6 days gestational age, either 162mg of aspirin through delivery or placebo until 12 weeks and then 81mg of aspirin through delivery.

RECRUITING

This is a prospective study to evaluate if successful completion of a medication abortion in patients with very early pregnancy can be detected with a urine pregnancy test at 2 weeks instead of 4 weeks. Additionally, the resolution of pregnancy symptoms in these patients will be characterized. Enrolled participants will take take weekly pregnancy tests and complete weekly questionnaires on their pregnancy symptoms for 4 weeks after their medication abortion.

The prevalence of a low p-MBL level is higher in patients with unexplained RPL than in the background population, while a high level is significantly less frequent in RPL patients (Nørgaard-Pedersen et al., submitted). Approximately 50% of RPL patients have none of the evidence-based risk factors associated with RPL. Unexplained RPL is more complicated since finding the cause is essential for offering the optimal intervention to improve the patient's chances of a child. Other conditions characterized by reproductive failure are infertility and recurrent implantation failure (RIF). The underlying mechanisms and the physiologic stage in early pregnancy being complicated and impeding normal pregnancy may probably differ between these pathologic conditions, since theoretically RIF would involve complicated embryo apposition, adhesion and invasion and clinical/visualized pregnancy losses would involve complicated stages later in the implantation process and fetal development. However, these conditions are suggested to have partly overlapping causes since most of the evidence-based risk factor recur; including parental chromosomal abnormalities, and maternal endocrine disorders, acquired thrombophilia, anatomic abnormalities in the uterine cavity, and endometrial and ovarian diseases. In addition, adverse immune responses against the embryo have been suggested as a cause of reproductive failure. If RPL is associated with a low p-MBL level, RIF may be so too. The investigators aim to explore the p-MBL level in patients suffering from reproductive failure. If low p-MBL level is associated with all the investigated subgroups of patients suffering from reproductive failure, this would strengthen our theory that MBL is involved in the pathophysiology characterized by reproductive failure in the very early stages of pregnancy and should therefore take part in the exploration of all patients with reproductive failure.

RECRUITING

Menstrual blood analysis will be performed on patients with infertility or a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes who have fertility needs. Those with abnormal uterine NK cells function will be screened and given informed consent forms pre-treatment. Collecting peripheral blood from the patients, isolating and inducing in vitro culture to obtain autologous decidual like NK cells which will be perfused into their uterine. Perform continuous menstrual blood analysis within 6 months after the first treatment to assess the improvement of uterine NK cell function. If the function of uterine NK cells improves, enter the stage of attempting pregnancy and follow up pregnancy outcomes; If the function of uterine NK cells does not improve, then autologous decidual like NK cells uterine cavity perfusion therapy will be performed again. NK cells intrauterine infusion will be treated up to 2 times.
