Overview

This study aims to investigate the microbiome of women with previously proven fertility who plan to become pregnant.

Description

The women will be recruited at the time of removal of a copper or hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) or removal of a contraceptive implant at the barnmorskemottagningar (midwife clinics) in Stockholm's county in Sweden. A total of 500 women will be included in the study and will be followed until conception or up to the end of 1 year, whichever comes first. If conception occurs, the woman will be followed throughout pregnancy. Participant recruitment will take place over a period of two years.

  • Women with a previous live birth in the past 5 years and planning a new pregnancy with the same male partner.
  • 18-40 years of age
  • Swedish personal identity number and a Swedish address (to send a sampling self-kit)
  • Sufficient understanding of spoken and written Swedish or English to provide informed consent and complete the web-based questionnaire.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Women who do not have a child yet and plan to cease their contraception.
