I have just seen a new FS who is recommending I take DHEA for four months (75mg a day) before my next stim. My other FS would not prescribe it, and I know a lot of others wont either. There was some talk of it negatively affecting female embryos....
I am conflicted. I have done a bit of reading and it seems to have good success rates. There are studies "proving" its safety.
I am desperate but I am still unsure.
Anyone taken it and had success? Anyone taken it and not had success???
thanks :)
No personal experience but I know a woman who finally conceived using DHEA at 42. Healthy baby girl.
LB, it's particularly good (apparently) for women over 35 or those with low AMH (premature ovarian failure).
You've spent the last 48 hours on google haven't you :)
Maybe. Maybe not ;) :p
I have low AMH and took DHEA. Not sure if that is what did it or not though?
N2l I that is what I have been on for the last few months, can't answer about success yet as we haven't done another ivf. Haven't fallen naturally yet whilst on it. I am hoping it helps, I figured anything was worth a try as much as I hate popping pills everyday.
I think it all comes down to your personal choice on how you feel about trying it.
I would give it a go N2L, esp if an FS is willing to prescribe it. Would be interesting to do one cycle and see what happens. GL!
i cant answer yet but ive just been perscribed it also so i will keep u updated, ive got low AMH at 34....
xx i hope it helps us!
I've been taking it for over a fortnight now Sarah.
I have found these past couple of days my hair and skin is a bit more oily and I have felt tense and headachey. A bit like PMT iykwim. I guess it makes sense as it's a male hormone.
Everything I have read says you need to take it for four months for best effect.
Good luck! (to all of us!!!)
aww man NTL!!!.... not more crazy drugs :rolleyes: oily hair and pmt!!!!... 4 months!!... does it ever end?!
yes fingers crossed it works XXXX Good luck hun.... lets get our BFP together ;)
Hey N2l I take it been on it for years I have just doubled my dose and now take 100mg plus I take coq10 600 mgs per day plus other vits!
I got oily skin etc bit extra facial hair but nothing too bad.
With these changes my last cycle I produced great looking eggs the best I've ever produced and am about to start again I def recommend giving it all a go!
You have N2l x
I took it for low AMH at 28 and ended up with a healthy baby girl :)
Who knows if it was the DHEA that actually did the trick, but you try anything when you are desperate!!
Good Luck xx
