WTH,

Yes I am exactly like you in this respect, thinking about the next step makes me feel better. May take you up on talking about DHEA - I actually talked about it with my FS this arvo, apparently she has one or two patients who are on it and is happy to give me a script as long as I come in and she can go through the studies with me (I actually really liked that she wanted me to have the full knowlegde).

She is not thinking about it positively, she said that the SIVF docctor's met and they are in general against it but will prescribe it if the patient asks for it. She is concerned about possible side effects. As a first step she'll send me a form for a BT so that we can check on my natural DHEA levels and also on cholesterol (She said DHEA could increase it and I had slightly high levels when I checked mid last year but have since changed my diet).

Not sure about the flare cycle, she said in general I'd have to go on the pill before and that could again suppress me too much like the first time, the other option is to do it without the pill but the danger is that some hormone level (testosteron?) rise too much so that any resulting embryos might have to get frozen, as a fresh transfer wouldn't be possible - are you doing a flare cycle currently? I thought with an antagonist cycle natural FSH can also walk alongside the Puregon?
