Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are women classified as good responders according to NICE guidelines, with an AMH level greater than 0.8 ng/dl and an antral follicular count of more than four.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who may not benefit from this study include those identified as poor responders according to ESHRE guidelines, such as those with advanced maternal age or low ovarian response.

What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the concentrations of specific trace elements found in follicular fluid and their correlation with reproductive outcomes in patients undergoing Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). It focuses on good responders characterized by an Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) level greater than 0.8 ng/dl and an antral follicular count exceeding four. The observational approach will involve analyzing the follicular fluid samples collected during the ICSI procedure to determine the influence of these trace elements on success rates. The findings could provide insights into optimizing ICSI outcomes based on trace element levels.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of how trace elements affect ICSI outcomes, potentially leading to improved fertility treatments.
How similar studies have gone: While the evaluation of trace elements in reproductive outcomes is a growing area of interest, this specific approach appears to be novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
