Summary
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of antioxidants on IVF outcome in infertile
patients undergoing IVF who are expected to produce low number of eggs compared to a control
group. The investigators assumed that the conception rate is higher in those patients taking
some antioxidants supplementation. The patients will be given antioxidant drug one month
before starting IVF trial once daily by mouth. Uniform protocol of stimulation will be done
during the cycle by a type of short protocols known as the antagonist protocol. Egg retrieval
will be done under anesthesia. pregnancy test will be done 2 weeks after embryo transfer. The
investigators will also assess the number and quality of eggs on the day of egg pick up. In
addition, the researchers will assess the number of first and second grade embryos that are
put on the day of embryo transfer.
