Detailed description of study
MOXI Phase I will involve randomization to either an antioxidant supplement or placebo. This study is blinded, such that neither the participant nor the study team will know which treatment is assigned. After 3 months of treatment (with the assigned study drug), couples will be receive up to 3 consecutive cycles of female ovarian stimulation with an oral medication (clomiphene citrate), triggered ovulation with hCG, and a single intrauterine insemination (Phase II).
