Protocol summary

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

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Participants will be randomly assigned 1 to 1 using the 4 and 6 block method right before the intervention begins.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
Blinding the allocation by a non-trafficker is done in the sampling and the received intervention (drug or placebo) is placed in the numbered blank opaque glasses, thus identifying the placement of the individuals. Glasses will be numbered from 1 to 70. The first person will be given the number one glass, and this will continue until the end of the sampling.
