What do we know about sperm and miscarriage?

Dr. Lora Shahine has a chapter in her book Not Broken about "the other half" (men and miscarriage), and it's the shortest chapter. The reason may be very different than you think.

Sperm is half of the genetic equation. And most pregnancies that are lost are lost because of a problem with the embryo — not the person carrying it.

So why do we know so little about the sperm side? Historically, infertility and pregnancy loss have focused on the pregnant person, so there's very little research about the contribution of the partner.

In this conversation with Dr. Lora Shahine, Ruby and Anne ask why we know so little and what's being done to correct the bias in the research and testing.
