  ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of vitamin D supplementation on enhancement of embryos implantation rates in intracytoplasmic sperm injection procedures. STUDY DESIGN: A randomized double-blinded controlled trial. SETTING: Assisted Reproduction Unit of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine, South Valley University, Egypt. DURATION: From December 1st 2017 to the end of October 2018. SUBJECTS and METHDS: Eighty infertile couples that underwent ICSI procedure were entrapped in this study. Patients were divided into two groups; Group I (Vitamin D group) = 40 patients (received vitamin D supplementation in the form of Vidrop oral drops 600 IU/day starting after ovum pickup) and Group II (placebo group) = 40 patients (received a placebo “normal saline oral drop”). RESULTS: There was a significantly increased embryo implantation rates (53.2% in vitamin D group versus 46.7% in placebo group), there was a mild statistically significant difference in the clinical pregnancy rates (45.9% in vitamin D group versus 39.4% in placebo group) with p-value CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin D supplementation could improve embryos implantation rates and rate of ongoing pregnancy by decline in the first trimester miscarriage rate.
