Melatonin Study Between Diminished and Normal Responder in IVF

Comparison of IVF Outcome and Endometrium Effect in Infertility Patients Between Diminished and Normal Ovarian Reserve After Melatonin Administration.

Poor sleep quality may lead to increase in oxidative stress and free radicals which in turn may decrease the reproductive function. Many researchers have already proven improvement on reproductive function after antioxidant (melatonin) administration. The investigators wish to study the relationship between unexplained, young poor ovarian responder and oxidative stress.

The investigators wish to study the relationship between unexplained, young poor ovarian responder and oxidative stress.

This is an randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of melatonin to improve the quality of sleep and reduce the oxidative stress. 100 patients will be randomized in to two groups, the one with melatonin administration for 2 weeks and the other with placebo administration. Each group will be composed of 2 sub groups, poor responders and normal responders.

Then the serum and the follicular fluid will be collected at the time of oocyte retrieval and melatonin concentration oxidative stress marker will be measured.
