🎉 Celebrating Liz Gomes! 🎉

This week, we celebrate (and lovingly send off) our incredible colleague, Liz Gomes, as she retires after years of dedicated service to the UCSF Center for Reproductive Health.

Liz has been so much more than a teammate — she’s been a mentor, a source of deep knowledge, and someone who always led with kindness, commitment, and care. Her impact on our team and our patients is impossible to measure.

Please join us in congratulating Liz on an amazing career and wishing her all the best in her next chapter — one filled with relaxation, adventure, and everything she loves most. 💛

Thank you, Liz, for everything. You will be deeply missed — and forever part of the CRH family.

At UCSF Center for Reproductive Health, you’ve got a whole team walking beside you with science, compassion, and maybe even a few laughs along the way. 💙

🎃 Here’s to finding light in the dark and courage in the unknown.
Happy Halloween from all of us at UCSF CRH!

"One reason many clinicians don’t know how to treat PCOS is it doesn’t sit neatly within one specialty," said Dr. Heather Huddleston, Director of UCSF’s multidisciplinary PCOS clinic and research center, in a recent Washington Post article.

Dr. Huddleston highlights a critical gap in care: PCOS affects millions worldwide, yet many patients struggle to find specialists who understand the condition beyond fertility treatment.

At UCSF, our PCOS clinic brings together experts in reproductive endocrinology, metabolism, and mental health to treat the whole person—not just their fertility.

Join the HOPE registry! We are enrolling men, women, and couples who have experienced pregnancy loss. This data will help us find patterns in recurrent pregnancy loss and better understand your journey. By providing us with your medical history and a saliva sample, we will be able to investigate genes that may be associated with pregnancy loss.

pregnancyloss.ucsf.edu/hope-registry

Once enrolled in this registry, you will have the option to learn about specific studies for which you may be eligible. One study will use genetic sequencing from parents and miscarriage tissue. Couples participating in this study will have the option of receiving the results of their genetic studies. For couples planning a pregnancy, you may be eligible to enroll in our molecular studies.

The goal of this study is to identify the causes of pregnancy loss and to develop methods for predicting future pregnancy outcomes. To achieve this, we are particularly interested in your future and past pregnancy outcomes. You will have the opportunity to provide updated pregnancy outcomes by contacting us directly or through periodic online surveys.
