Summary

This study tests whether group virtual preconception care can improve pregnancy and health outcomes for people with infertility. About 140 patients from Penn Fertility Care will either join biweekly group sessions or receive usual care. Researchers will track blood pressure, weight, blood sugar, anxiety, depression, and pregnancy rates to see if the group approach makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Group virtual preconception care sessions
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that group support before pregnancy improves health and pregnancy outcomes for people with infertility.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study at one center. It may not show clear benefits, and results may not apply to all fertility patients.
