Hi Vivi,
I have taken DHEA for about 6 weeks. So far I don't see any 'effects'. Read that some of the side effects could be hair growth, pimples, muscles.....have not developed a mustache...haha But seems like for the last two months, I have not ovulated (as did not detect the egg-white mucus). Not sure if this is an effect of the drugs though....maybe will check with Dr Zou when I next see her on Wednesday.
Hi rosypink and Humbug,
Just to share, I was devastated after the failure of my First IVF try, especially after my gyn said that I may have a genetic problem as I did not have any viable embyro for transfer. For my second round, although that also ended as a BFN, I was already happy that I had one previous embryo transfer. Now I am preparing for my third try in Oct (after 3+ mths of DHEA)and having Acc under Dr Zou...hopefully I will be third time lucky!!!
Dr Loh did mentioned that he was against DHEA initally but some of his patients were very insistant and after some research, he has started to perscribed to patients that have low reserves and poor response to Puregon.
Dr Zou mentioned to me that one of her patients has taken DHEA for 3 mths and her FSH level had dropped from more than 10 to 6+. Waiting to see her IVF results...
