My dr. at CCRM told me to take 75 mg of DHEA per day and to order it from this place: https://www.belmarpharmacy.com/. It was her opinion that it was better quality. I can't really say since I didn't end up ordering any after switching to a dr. at a clinic closer to home who was strongly opposed to DHEA. I've heard a lot of success stories about it, though!
I wish you the best!
TTC with DOR, low morphology, fertilization issues
IVF#1 Oct 2009 (CCRM) - BFN
IVF#2 March 2010 - Poor response/cancelled
DE IVF#1 Aug 2010 - BFN
DE IVF#2 Dec 2010 - Transferred 1, 2 frozen - BFP!
TTC#2 FET Jan 2013 - Transferred 1 - BFP!
dhea: 75mg daily of micronized dhea up until day after er. I did for 4 months prior to sticky bfp cycle.
royal jelly: I did this for a month but did not feel the literature on it was overwhelming so I stopped. I did l arginine instead.
I read your post about eating "whole" foods and I 100% agree. I tried to eliminate most sugar from my diet, up the protein and leafy greens and def no caffiene. I also ate a lot of grapefruit-I had read about that on another board and took the advice. Lastly I def did the pineapple but on the successful cycle I think I just drank the organic juice. GL!
