Brief Summary: This study will add:

Finding out an association between Protein S activity and unexplained female infertility.

Aim:

Study hypothesis:

In women with unexplained infertility protein S activity may be low.

Study question:

In women with unexplained infertility does protein S activity low?.

This study aims to assess the activity of protein S activity in women with unexplained infertility.

Objectives:

The main objective of this study is:

To determine the prevalence of Protein S activity with unexplained female infertility and to compare its prevalence in fertile women among women attending outpatient clinics at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital.
Detailed Description: 1. Type of Study: Case Control Study.
2. Study Setting: Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital: outpatient Infertility clinic and outpatient gynecology clinic.
3. Study Population: The study will include women with unexplained infertility (Group 1; cases) and fertile women who got pregnant and delivered at least once in the previous year with no history of recurrent abortions nor history of secondary infertility (Group 2; control).

Group 1: Will include 30 women with unexplained primary infertility; will be recruited from the outpatient infertility clinic.

Group 2; another 30 fertile women who got pregnant and delivered at least once in the previous year with no history of recurrent abortions; will recruited from outpatient gynecology clinic as control.

According to inclusion and exclusion criteria listed below.

Inclusion criteria:

1. Age: 18 - 35 years old.
2. Normal husband's semen analysis, (WHO criteria):

1. Count ≥ 15 million/ml.
2. Motility: ≥ 40%
3. Morphology: ≥ 4% normal morphology.
3. Documented ovulation.
4. Normal Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, serum prolactin.
5. Patent Fallopian tubes.
6. Normal uterine cavity.

Exclusion criteria:

1. Patients aged less than 18 years or more than 35 years old.
2. Secondary infertility
3. Presence of male factor infertility
4. Anovulatory cycles.
5. Tubal block; Tubal disease is an important cause of infertility and should be specifically excluded.
6. Medical disorder that might affect pregnancy (e.g.: Diabetes, Thyroid dysfunction)
7. Patients with recurrent abortion.
