Read the full show notes for this episode on Dr. Aimee's website. I'm excited to welcome Dr. Dana McQueen, a highly knowledgeable reproductive endocrinologist and board-certified OB/GYN from Reproductive Medicine Associates (RMA). We dive into the topic of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL), a deeply emotional and complex issue that many couples face. Dr. McQueen sheds light on the latest research, potential causes, and the treatments available to help couples navigate this challenging journey. Dr. McQueen also highlights chronic endometritis, a condition that is often overlooked but could be an important factor in miscarriage. She explains how it differs from endometriosis and why diagnosing it is crucial for some patients. In addition to the science, we cover practical guidance for couples, including what male partners can do to check their sperm health and the importance of identifying conditions like chronic endometritis. In this episode, we cover:

• The latest advancements in understanding the causes of miscarriage, including chromosome errors and male factors.
• The role of sperm DNA fragmentation and how male partners can get tested.
• Chronic endometritis: what it is, how it's diagnosed, and why it matters.
• The differences between chronic endometritis and endometriosis.
• New research and treatment options, including genetic testing for embryos during IVF.
