    ObjectiveIt has been demonstrated that the composition of the follicular fluid and many internal/external factors affect success in subfertile couples undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). We examined the effect of folic acid, B12, D, and E vitamins and melatonin values in follicular fluid on pregnancy in women with low, normal, and high ovarian reserves who underwent ICSI.MethodsOur study was conducted at Samsun Medical Park Hospital between January 2021 and February 2022. Follicular fluid induction samples were taken from 96 infertile women with low, normal, and high ovarian reserve, and ICSI was applied. Folic acid, B12, D, and E vitamins and melatonin levels were measured in follicular fluid samples by ELISA method. Statistical analyzes were done with SPSS, and ROC curve analyses were used.ResultsNine people with poor reserve, 19 people with normal reserve and 14 people with high reserve became pregnant. Folic acid, Vitamin-D, B12, E and melatonin levels were lower in those with poor ovarian reserve than in those with normal and high ovarian reserve (p<0.05). According to the pregnancy test, the probability of pregnancy was 43,783 times higher with high levels of folic acid, while it was 8,096 times higher for vitamin D. While vitamin B12 levels were 31,474 times more likely to be pregnancies, vitamin E levels were 35,227 times higher. For melatonin, the values showed that the probability of pregnancy increased by 11,564 times.ConclusionsHigh antioxidants may increase the likelihood of conception in infertile women undergoing ICSI. Therefore, couples who will be treated should be advised to increase these markers, especially melatonin in the follicular fluid.Copyright: © Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences.
