Sydney IVF - experimental drug to make embie stick!

[buliej]

I don't think it's DHEA - I've been on DHEA for almost 3 months and in the middle of my first cycle since taking it. It is suppose to improve egg quality (which remains to be seen for me) but I don't think it has anything to do with "sticky-ness".

There is something called Embryo Glue (I find it googling) - not sure if this is what you have heard of. Here's an article from 2003 - Embryo 'glue' study may raise chances of successful births - Health News, Health & Families - The Independent.

[Where there's hope]

Hi Belle

I can back up what Buliej wrote - I too took DHEA for a couple of months before my last (successful) cycle.

DHEA is available in Australia. It is thought to assist with the quality of eggs in a diminishing ovarian reserve, but as far as I know it has nothing to do with implantation. Of course, a better quality embryo is more likely to stick, so there may be a connection.

I have heard great things about Dr Leiberman - very approachable and willing to tailor programs well for each patient.

Wishing you the very best of luck.
