Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this study, after obtaining informed consent from patients, participants will be randomized using Block Randomization method into two groups, including group A (recipients of misoprostol with letrozole) and group B (recipients of misoprostol with placebo). In this way, all possible quadruple blocks (120 blocks) that include two groups are written, and each number is assigned to one of the blocks of the table and thus represents its particular state. Randomly, based on the table of random numbers obtained by the computer program, a block will be selected, then based on that, the samples will enter into the different groups of the study. This work will be continued until we reach a sufficient number of samples in each group (4 blocks will be selected by 42 times applying the permutation method.) For example, if block 1 will be selected in the first selection, this means that the first two samples should enter group A, and the third and fourth samples should enter group B. Likewise, the block will be selected again for the next 4 samples. Also during the randomization, matching between the two groups should be applied in terms of age, maternal parity, type of delivery, history of previous miscarriage, fetal anomaly and fetal death (Fetal Death) and the above cases should be included in both groups
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Medications will be given to patients in a similar form and package by a clinical caregiver, and the researcher will only evaluate patients and evaluate the consequences.
