The study population will be divided into three groups:~Group (A) consisting of 40 infertile women with either unexplained or anovulatory infertility with/without associated male factor of infertility,~Group (B) consisting of 40 infertile women with tubal (mechanical) factor of infertility with/without associated male factor of infertility, and~Group (C) consisting of 40 women with exclusive male factor of infertility and will be used as a control group.~. All women will be subjected to:~Informed consent~Full history taking, including age, duration of infertility and whether primary or secondary~General and pelvix examination~Trans-vaginal ultrasonography~Determination of hormonal profile (FSH, LH, Estradiol, Prolactin)~Determination of ovulatory status (by previous documented history of induction of ovulation OR previous ultrasonography OR previous estimation midluteal serum progesterone, etc …)~Determination of of tubal patency (by previous hysterosalpingiography or laparoscopy)~Determination of presence of male factor (by seminal fluid analysis)~Determination of TSH and antithyroid antibodies (antithyroglobulin and antithyroid peroxidase) blood levels
