We are studying the causes of and potential treatments for pregnancy & lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLO). We know little about the clinical features, causes, and prognosis of PLO. Our goal is to define the clinical characteristics of PLO and better understand similarities/differences among the women. We are looking for women with fractures during/soon after pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
