Plain-language summary

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between dietary total antioxidant capacity, phytochemical index, inflammatory index, dietary polyphenol intake and ongoing pregnancy outcome in couples receiving IVF treatment. In this context, the objectives are: Determining the relationship between diet's antioxidant capacity, phytochemical index, inflammatory index, and dietary polyphenol intake and ongoing pregnancy outcome, Determining the relationship between total serum antioxidant capacity, serum oxidant capacity and CRP levels and ongoing pregnancy outcome, It is the determination of the relationship between body composition and ongoing pregnancy. With this study, it is aimed to obtain reliable data on the effects of diet's antioxidant capacity, phytochemical index and dietary polyphenol intake and inflammatory index on reproductive functions. In this way, it is thought that nutritional recommendations that can be given to patients who will undergo IVF treatment before treatment will be developed. In this study, which is a first in terms of examining many parameters related to diets of women and men, it will be evaluated whether the parameters to be examined are effective in IVF cycles. The aims, objectives and hypotheses the researchers put forward within the scope of the study have not been studied extensively before. If the planned project is carried out successfully, new nutritional approaches will be paved in in-vitro fertilization treatment, and it will be possible to contribute to reducing the financial burden of the treatment. In addition, an important step will be taken to increase the total fertility rate (number of children per woman) within the scope of the 11th Development Plan (2019-2023). It also conforms to the 3rd Sustainable Development Goals, "healthy and quality life" (UNDP Turkey 2018)

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
