I am wondering if I can find some first-hand success stories with help of DHEA? I have high FSH 16.8 and low AMH 0.25. My latest IVF cycle failed with only 1 out of 8 eggs fertilize via ICSI. Although DH has low motility/morphology and high fragmention, My RE believes that the poor outcome is due to my egg quality. He brought up a course of DHEA for 4 months as an option. Since he talked about DHEA in the past with a negative tone, I want to find more information before I make a decision on it (we will meet again next week).
He told me to be careful about stopping the meds a couple of days before expected period, and restart with period - I guess just in case I do get pg naturally... he said DHEA can damage fetus. On the other hand, he also said that DHEA makes me even LESS fertile while I am taking it.
Anyway, I am pretty confused about DHEA at this point. I am most concerned about the possible damage it can do to the baby. Also curious as to how effective it is... Any information is much appreciated! Thank you.
