Our Programs
Scientific Programs
We envision a future where unexplained recurrent miscarriage no longer exists, where women and couples can get explanations for their devastation and create clear plans to grow their families. To this end, we facilitate and support science by:
- Providing research grants to doctors and scientists in the United States who are investigating causes of and/or treatments for recurrent pregnancy loss.
- Hosting a RPL Community Registry to engage families, characterize our community, learn what's working, and enable research to move at a faster pace.
- Sharing information with our community through our "Ask the Expert" video conversations, website, and social media pages.
Support Programs
Miscarriage is an isolating experience accompanied by feelings of deep sadness, helplessness and guilt. We hope to change the narrative from one of pain and lonesomeness to one of togetherness and mutual strength. To achieve this, we:
- Run an RPL peer-to-peer support group and manage a private Facebook group.
- Created a virtual garden to commemorate the losses experienced by our community. To add a flower to the garden please fill out this form.
- Are building a library of individual accounts of recurrent pregnancy loss. To read some of these testimonials, or to share your own, visit our Stories page.
Awareness, Advocacy, and Answers
Miscarriage is hard to talk about, so its impact is often unnoticed and misunderstood. Awareness is the first step to changing this. At RPLA we strive to be a voice for women and families who are prefer to keep their pain private and platform for those who seek to be heard.
