Clomiphene Citrate resistance is a term that refers to the persistence of ovulation after standard Clomiphene Citrate therapy, and about 15% of Polycystic ovary syndrome were resistant to the maximum dose of clomiphene citrate. The study aims to evaluate the effect of combining oral vitamin D3 and CoQ10 supplements to overcome Clomiphene resistance on hormonal profile and ovulation outcome(ova size and endometrial thickness) in clomiphene citrate resistance PCOS patients. The study was a prospective intervention comparative, open-label study include 35 PCOS patient aged (18-34) years are resistant to clomiphene citrate ellocated in two groups, group 1 include vitamin D deficient PCOS patient received clomiphene citrate 100mg daily clomiphene for five days in each month with 10000IU daily vitamin D for 2 months, group 2 include PCOS patient with no vitamin D deficiency received 100mg daily clomiphene for five days in each month plus CoQ10 200mg daily for 2 months. Fasting blood samples used to measure serum estradiol, antimullerian hormone (AMH), luteinizing hormone (L.H.), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to calculate L.H.:FSH ratio, mid-cycle transvaginal ultrasound for determination of ova size and endometrial thickness. Both Vitamin D3 supplementation and CoQ10 supplementation resulted in a significant increase in ova size (P < 0.001), while the increase in endometrial thickness was substantial only after vitamin D supplementation (P < 0.001). Meanwhile, serum estradiol levels increased in both study groups after intervention but still not significant (P > 0.05). In conclusion, receiving vitamin D and CoQ10 supplements by clomiphene resistance PCOS women improves serum hormone, including AMH and L.H.: FSH ratio, also improving ovulation outcome (ova size and endometrial thickness).
