My RE put me on these 3x a day. Says it may help my egg production. Anyone a believer? Thank you in advance!

    I took DHEA to prepare for my egg retrievals. It can contribute to egg quality especially in women over 35.  I am a bad example because my ovarian reserve was ridiculously low so the quality didn't matter so much but it's a pretty standard supplement for fertility.  
    History and blog link in spoiler
    2016 - dx with super low ovarian reserve; failed cycle with clomid, failed IUI, 
    2017 - egg retrieval #1 - 3 eggs, 0 embryos appropriate for transfer; ER #2 2 eggs, 0 embryos on day 3; ER #3 1 egg 0 embryos
    moved to donor egg in summer 2017; 35 eggs retrieved; 19 fertilized; 9 total embryos
    Fresh transfer Dec 2017= BFP!  baby boy born 8/22/18

    May 2019 - surprise natural pregnancy ended in MC
    Nov 2019 FET; MC at 9 weeks
    May 2020 FET; BFN
    July 2020 FET; CP treated with methotrexate
    Oct 2020 BFP!
