ICSI - Low Ovarian Reserve & Poor Sperm quality - DHEA

[blossom73]

Hi zigzag with regards to NK cell test a FS called Dr Gavin Sacks at IVF Australia Bondi is the only one i think that does the biopsy to test for it.
It is treated with 30g prednisone a day, clexane and cardiprin.
Good luck with the next cycle i know it is so hard to let it go in the end but fingers crossed for you that the DHEA has made a difference and you get a good result.

ZigZag, the AMH test was done by FS and it is for Low Ovarian Reserve. Mine is very low & my husbands sperm test states the same as yours.
I'm looking for a good natropath but then I also don't want to keep shoving all these different drugs into my body I'm sure its getting confused.....
This soooo hard this journey and the only people who have a clue is other people who are going through the same thing. If I hear one more person tell me to relax or just do it more.... I will swear at them.
Blossum any news???
Katbaby how are you feeling??
have a good day all x

Hi all. After reading your posts i asked my fs about DHEA yesterday and she said she was involved with a commonwealth study which disproved its effectiveness. She also said it has potentially negative risks (didn't elaborate). Apparently only one of all the fs at Melbourne IVF will go near the stuff. Needless to say she didnt put me on it!

Nothing2lose - It is not used a lot in a Australia and there is only minimal trials here - My FS is the only one using it a Melb IVF - it only has bad side effects if you go over 75mg's a day & you shouldn't use it for a long period of time.My FS believes it has helped at least three of his clients achieve their dream. In America it is commonly used and there are many more trials done there and they have great stat's for women with low ovarian reserve. I suppose some FS's have a protocol they use and stick to it.
At this stage we are willing to give ANYTHING a try if there is a slight chance it will help we are doing it. I had no follices on my left side since May last year and after three months of this I have three lil ones. Even if it only helps me to think its working & helps me get over the negative emotions I'm happy!! We are desperate.
Each to there own thou & I respect that.

Blossom - I am going to go to bed & say a prayer for you tonight & send you lots of positive sticky vibes - Best of luck & hope that in two weeks I can have champagne for you to celebrate your good news.

Katbaby - How are you??

ZigZag - Are you in Melbourne?? What is the Liz Lalor F. homeopathic program??

Hope everyone is well
