OxLuPin form

The OxLuPIn study (Oxford Luteal Dysfunction and Placental Insufficiency) is looking for women aged 16 years or older, who are less than 8 weeks’ pregnant, to help us understand early pregnancy and how to better predict complications such as high blood pressure later on.

If you join the study, you will be invited for:

  • Two early pregnancy scans
    • The first scan (before 8 weeks) — this is not part of routine NHS pregnancy care and is only available through the study.
    • The second scan (10–14 weeks) — this is around the same time as the NHS “dating scan”, but in the study we complete some additional ultrasound measurements that are not routinely performed.
  • A small blood sample, urine sample, and vaginal and rectal swabs at each research visit.

These visits help us understand how early pregnancy develops and how we might improve the prediction and prevention of pregnancy complications in the future.
