Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Study group
Patients will receive thyroxine , low dose aspirin , low dose selenium, Calcium and vitamin D and immunomodulatory drugs(prednisolone, hydroxychloroquine, azathioprin, IV immunoglobulins)
 Drug: Immunomodulatory

Patients will receive thyroxine , low dose aspirin , low dose selenium, Calcium and vitamin D before ICSI cycle.

Moreover, patients will receive a treatment course of immunomodulatory drugs for 3 -6 months before ICSI cycle:

  1. Prednisnlone 40mg for 2 weeks to be lowered gradually till become 5mg after 6 weeks and to be continued
  2. Hydroxychloroquine according to body weight, patients who develop hypersensitivity will be shifted to Azathioprin.
  3. Immunoglobulins will be used in cases not responding to treatment.
Active Comparator: Control group
Patients will receive thyroxine , low dose aspirin , low dose selenium, Calcium and vitamin D.
 Drug: Thyroxine

Patients will receive thyroxine , low dose aspirin , low dose selenium, Calcium and vitamin D before ICSI cycle.

Patients will not receive immunomodulatory drugs
