PROMISE Study: Understanding Factors Affecting Reproductive Health

The PROMISE study is an observational study looking at how lifestyle factors like sleep, nutrition, and exercise before pregnancy might affect a woman's ability to have a live birth and the long-term health of her child. Researchers want to understand these factors before pregnancy, as this may be a better time to make a difference in health outcomes. The study is open to women aged 18-44 who are seeking pregnancy at Northwestern Fertility and Reproductive Medicine and have not had prior IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) cycles. The main goal is to see if these pre-pregnancy factors lead to a live birth after embryo transfer, measured over approximately 0-24 months. The current status of the study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 1000 participants.
