Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are looking for women, between the age of 18-42 years old for a research study investigating recurrent implantation failure, early pregnancy loss, recurrent pregnancy loss.

- Required ART for male factor infertility and were successful conceiving after the first embryo transfer. Same sex female couples are welcome
Study details:
