Dexamethasone for PCOS?

At my initial RE appt, he suspected that I had PCOS, but wanted to run some blood tests to confirm. 

I just got a call from my RE office and after my bloodwork results came back - they want to put me on Dexamethasone .25mg to try to lower my testosterone levels.  Has anyone else had this course of treatment?

    You may want to consider posting this question on 3T or Infertility, but here's my two cents:

    Dexamethasone calms your ovaries, which makes them more receptive to stimulation.  I'm not sure about testosterone specifically, but I could understand the treatment suggestion for PCOS.  It's a drug I always have to take as part of IVF cycles.  It's not terrible to be on - I can't think of any side effects I've noticed from it.  

    Good luck!

    Me = lean PCOS;DH = poor morphology (3%)
    3 IUI/TI cycles = BFN
    IVF #1 with ICSI: antagonist protocol = BFFN
    IVF #2 with ICSI : Lupron downregulation = BFFN...FML
    IVF #3 with ICSI and AH (Antagonist) = IT'S A BOY!!!!

    For whatever reason I thought I was on 3T - sorry about that!  Thanks for your response though :)
