IIRRM Conference Guidelines for Abstracts
Abstracts are now being accepted for the International Scientific & Clinical Conference for Restorative Reproductive Medicine being held on August 7-10 2024! Early bird submissions closes April 5, 2024. This year marks our 20th Anniversary, which will be hosted at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
New Research suggesting DHEA treatment during pregnancy can reduce the risk of miscarriage for women with low oestrogen levels
New research published on DHEA treatment during pregnancy and risk of miscarriage for women with low oestrogen levels. This study is the first of its kind to show DHEA supplementation effectively increased estradiol levels and reduced miscarriage rates in pregnancies with low serum estradiol. Low estradiol levels could serve as a measurable biomarker for targeted RRM therapy in recurrent miscarriage.
The Surveillance of Treatment and Outcomes in Restorative Reproductive Medicine (STORRM)
The STORRM project is underway! Register your interest and download the resources to contribute as an individual clinician or as a clinic in this project. The goal is to establish an ongoing, self-sustaining, international registry for restorative reproductive medicine (RRM) treatments for subfertility and miscarriage, and determine the outcomes of treatment.

IIRRM Journal Club is held monthly to review and provide a critical evaluation of published research relevant to the field of Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM). These meetings also offer a platform to connect and discuss the clinical applications of new research to your practice and patients.
RRM with NeoFertility – Medical Case Reviews
Facilitated by Dr. Phil Boyle, MD, these monthly case reviews are open to any healthcare professional who has completed the Advanced Medical Training Program with NeoFertility, as well as current IIRRM members.
April Journal Club (English): The association between the type of progesterone supplementation and miscarriage risk in women who have had a positive pregnancy test following embryo transfer
This month we will review the article by Shaulov et. al., "The association between the type of progesterone supplementation and miscarriage risk in women who have had a positive pregnancy test following embryo transfer" prepared by Dr. Natalia Suszczewicz. Journal Club is your chance to stay up to date in the latest RRM research and application to clinical practice. These sessions provide a critical appraisal of published research relevant to the field of Restorative Reproductive Medicine.
Ask IRRMA – April RRM Case Discussions
A monthly case-based discussion series bringing together clinicians and other allied health providers practicing or interested in providing a restorative approach to Reproductive Medicine and women’s healthcare.
You are invited to prepare and present a case, and discuss your diagnostic and therapeutic challenges among members of the RRM community. These sessions are meant to be informal to generate ideas and build on each other’s experiences and knowledge.

Journal Club: Novel approaches to the management of recurrent pregnancy loss: The OPTIMUM (OPtimization of Thyroid function, Thrombophilia, Immunity, and Uterine Milieu) treatment strategy
Kuroda K et al.. "Novel approaches to the management of recurrent pregnancy loss: The OPTIMUM (OPtimization of Thyroid function, Thrombophilia, Immunity, and Uterine Milieu) treatment strategy". This study aimed to determine if an “OPTIMUM” management strategy could improve pregnancy outcomes in women with a history of RPL. The strategy involved identifying and treating specific conditions such as chronic endometritis, elevated Th1/Th2 cell ratios, thyroid dysfunction, & thrombophilia when compared to a control group.
Sperm DNA Integrity and Male Health
This activity provides an update on sperm DNA Integrity/Damage and testing, the relationship between male fertility and health and between sperm DNA damage and health of the offspring and discusses what we can do to improve male health and fertility. Presented by Preben Christensen, PhD, who has been researching sperm quality and reduced fertility since 1996, which in 2006 led to the founding of SPZ Lab - which offers an examination of sperm cell DNA integrity (SDI-testing).
Investigating Endometriosis and PCOS as Diametric Conditions
This webinar explores the concept that endometriosis and PCOS represent opposite outcomes of variation in HPG axis development, with endometriosis linked to low prenatal and postnatal testosterone, while PCOS is associated with high prenatal testosterone. Endometriosis and PCOS could be considered as reflecting maladaptive extremes of female fitness-related adaptations, which has direct implications for therapy and fertility restoration in women with endometriosis or PCOS.
