YimYee,
我今次(第4次)IUI, 打咗3針225iu, 都係谷得一粒大卵, 今日會再打150iu, 聽日打破卵針, 星期三做. 如果再失敗, 都好可能要開始IVF療程了.
祝妳一齊順利!

Hi,

I just started taking it for 2 days. It is recommended by my western doctor. I failed two ivf. My FSH is 14.7. It is rather high.

Last time, I got only 4 eggs and all got fertilized. But they could not develop enough cells in the lab to become good embryo. Therefore my doctor wants me to try DHEA. He said that it will take about 3 months to see the effect. I also read some research studies saying that it can improve egg quality.

My doctor also said that we need to check the antral follicles count on Day 2 or Day 3. This will tell whether DHEA works if the number is increased from before.

I hope we can continue to compare our experiences in using DHEA.

You can also e-mail me at:

Good luck to us.

Frisbe,
Is DHEA very expensive? do you know why the doctor only give it to those who failed in ivf? do it has any side effects?

my fsh is 12 when i check it last year, it seems going up in recent months as i didn't have good feedback after taking high dosage of the drugs when i did my iui treatments.

DHEA is not very expensive, I bought a bottle with 60 capsules, cost !$160, I need to take 3 capsules a day.

Some doctors do not really recomand to their patients, as there are not very solid proof to its effect to the egg quality. I don't think there is a lot of side effect.

It is true that DHEA is not expensive at all. I found it at the GNC in Central. In terms of side effects, some women may increase facial hair. The benefit is not completely proven yet. Research is still going on in the U.S. Therefore some doctors do not believe in it at all. I guess I am just taking it as a try and see whether it will improve follicle number and the quality of eggs.

I also took DHEA for 2 months before the ivf. $160 for 60 is cheap. I bought $2xx from Pharmacy shop. My Dr also said that it MAY improve egg quality but not very sure, just a try and it's nothing harmful. Finally I was successful in the ivf. I am now 9 weeks pregnant with twins.

Dear Shanmmami,

Congratulations that your are pregnant with twins. I am really happy for you.

Before you took DHEA, was your FSH high or normal? After taking the DHEA, did your follicle count increase? I was not responsive to hormone stimulation and the follicles did not grow even with high dosage of hormones.

Besides DHEA, did you try other things at the same time, i.e., Chinese herb, acupuncture?

Who is your ivf doctor who is so good to help you pregnant? If you don't mind, can you e-mail the info to my address:

[email protected]

Many thanks.

Shanmmami,

As fsh level is not the sole factor for successful pregnancy, and I heart that it took at least 3 months for DHEA to have effect, so I suspect that you pregnacy may not be due to the effect of DHEA. As age is the most important factor... Just wonder if you could kindly share your age range and also is it the first time you did the ivf?

I will be 38 this year. And I think you are right. FSH is not the only factor affecting our pregnancy. I remember before the IVF when I check the FSH, it was 1X. My dr also suggested me to wait for another cycle. But I don't want to wait again and I don't think the FSH would be better next cycle. Very lucky, I still got pregnant.

DHEA is recommended by my dr

我今日做完第4次iui喇, 我問董醫生, 我其實可唔可以自行食DHEA呢? 佢話都可以, 但鮮奶都好好喇. 所以如果我真係咁不幸, 可能我會問清楚佢, 再決定食唔食.

Thanks for shanmmami's sharing.

DHEA was originally claimed to help a 43-year-old woman to get pregnant. If anyone is interested in reading more about DHEA, please refer to:

http://www.centerforhumanreprod.com/premature_ovaries.html

http://www.sciencentral.com/articles/view.php3?type=article&article_id=218392379

I guess we do not know whether it really helps. Since there isnot much side effect, I just take it and to see how it goes. I am checking my blood and follicle count to see whether it really works.
