Talk to me about DHEA

in TTC after 35

Benefits?  side effects?  From what I've read,it can lower FSH.  Any other benefits, negatives?

    It was recommeded I take 75 mg. daily by my RE. I started in Feb and a couple months in I believe it started to mess w/ my 27/28 day cycles. Delayed O and I had two cycles of 45 days and 60 days. I stopped taking it but started up again prior to starting my IVF. I wish you luck.

    I am on 3 x 25mg a day. No side effects. I am taking the better micronized version, get it at Whole Foods. I do feel I am a little snappier than normal, get frustated easier. I have not had my period this month, due in last few days but RE had me take a new BCP and many cause this issue for me so no doubting it is the BCP and not the DHEA.

    You need to decide the benefits over the issues. I can cause good cholesterol to reduce a lot so think about that too. I have bad eggs, this could be my saving grace so the risks are worth it.

    Multiple ectopics, 2 failed IVF's
    IVF #1: Did not get to ET, embies all failed PGD (major chromosomal defects)
    IVF #2: We have 2 chromosomally perfect embies as a result of PGD (Boy/Girl) 1 failed the thaw (Girl) Transferred 1, yet ended as a c/p
    Thought it was the end of our TTC Journey 6/20/2012
