This observational study, called the ELF Study, is looking into how the uterus absorbs fluid during early pregnancy. Researchers want to understand the mechanisms (how things work) involved. You might be able to join if you are a woman between 18 and 45 years old with regular periods and a BMI between 18 and 40. The study is open to women with diagnosed endometriosis (a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus) or infertility, as well as women without these conditions. The main goal is to measure the levels of certain ion channels (tiny pathways that allow charged particles to pass through cell membranes) in uterine tissue samples over five years to see how they relate to fluid absorption. The current enrollment status is unclear, and the study plans to include 140 participants.
