Study aim
-
• Comparison of AMH concentration 12 months after initiation of intervention in the group receiving selenium and vitamin E and placebo group with control of the effect of AMH concentration before intervention
• Comparison of the number of ovarian antral follicles 12 months after intervention in the group receiving selenium and vitamin E and placebo group with control of the effect of number of antral ovarian follicles before intervention
• Comparison of ovarian volume 12 months after intervention in the group receiving selenium and vitamin E and placebo group with control of ovarian volume before intervention
• Determining the frequency of adverse events in the treatment group for selenium and vitamin E recipients and the placebo group

Design
-
This is a randomized, controlled triple blinded with two arm parallel group clinical trial that have been designed for Occult POI patients referred to Al-Zahra clinic and clinics and clinics affiliated to Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. . The sample size is 35 in each grou

Settings and conduct
-
This is a randomized, controlled triple blinded with two arm parallel group clinical trial that have been designed for Occult POI patients referred to Al-Zahra clinic and clinics and clinics affiliated to Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.In this study, the participants and the person who performed the statistical analysis will be blinded

Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Entry Criteria:
Accepting informed written consent
Women aged 20 to 40 years old
Menstrual cycle
Having two ovaries
There is no evidence of endocrine disorders (diabetes, thyroid disorders, Addison's disease, etc.) by asking the patient and checking out the results of previous patient tests.
Occult POI (hormone AMH <1 ng / ml, reduced ovarian reserve, less than 5 anthral follicles, reduced ovarian volume to less than 2.5 cubic centimeters, or all three cases)
With BMI <30, the weight and height in this study will be measured by the researcher and the BMI will be calculated according to the formula below. BMI = (WEIGHT (kg)) / (LENGTH (m ^ 2))
Non-arrival criteria:
Drug Addiction and Tobacco Use
Tend to use donation eggs
Having evidence of OVERT POI (FSH> 15 or amenorrhea for more than 3 months)
Supplementation of Selenium and Vitamin E three months before the onset of intervention
Having a history of radiotherapy and chemotherapy
Taking anticoagulants (co-administration of vitamin E with these drugs increases the risk of bleeding).
-
Intervention groups
-
The intervention group will receive Selenium pills and vitamin E for three months.The other group will receive the placebo of these two supplements. Because both (selenium and vitamin E) are the cofactor of the enzyme GPX, there is therefore no need for a separate group to check vitamin E or selenium alone
-
Main outcome variables
-
AMH concentration 12 months after intervention؛Number of antral follicles in ovarian 12 months after the intervention؛Volume of ovaries 12 months after intervention؛The incidence of side effects of selenium and vitamin E
