  1. Ultrasound Examination:

​* Ovaries: Antral follicle number and ovarian volume.
* ⁣ Liver: Fat content.

  1. Medication Use: ​record of medications used within the past six months.

II. Outcomes of⁢ Chronic metabolic Diseases – Definitions:

‍ ⁣* First‍ Trimester Pregnancy Loss: Pregnancy⁢ loss before⁣ the end of the first trimester.

Control⁣ Group⁣ for IVF Comparison: Individuals undergoing IVF with:
* Infertility‍ due⁣ to fallopian ⁢tube adhesion or blockage (without PCOS features).
* ‍ Infertility‍ due to​ male factor (oligozoospermia, asthenospermia, or abnormal spermatozoa).
