What the study is about
The goal of this investigational study is to evaluate participation in a weekly, interactive, tender loving care messaging platform impact on pregnancy outcomes in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss.
The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) does participation in weekly, interactive tender loving care messages increase live birth rates in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss? (2) Does participation in weekly, interactive tender loving care messages increase patients' quality of life? Does participation in weekly, interactive tender loving care messages decrease patients' depressive symptoms?
Participants will be asked to interact with weekly messages providing prenatal counseling and support. Additionally, patients will be asked to complete the fertility quality of life survey several times over the course of the pregnancy.
