Summary

This trial is researching if a group care model can improve pregnancy and newborn outcomes for couples trying to conceive. #fertility #preconceptioncare

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women who are new patients at Penn Fertility Care, currently trying to conceive and planning to carry a pregnancy themselves. They should be willing to try group preconception care or usual care and able to use technology for questionnaires. It's not open to those who've had prior infertility treatments elsewhere, need a gestational carrier, require genetic testing on embryos, or can't complete surveys in English.
What is being tested?
The study tests Group Preconception Care designed to improve pregnancy outcomes by implementing lifestyle changes before conception. Participants will either receive this group care through Pomelo Care's virtual program or stick with the standard individual care approach.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves lifestyle changes rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience stress or emotional impacts from group dynamics and discussions about fertility.
