Should I take DHEA ? AMH 0.4

Question

Hi ladies,

Hopefully some of you could help me make up my mind. AMH 0.4 FSH 9.8 . I had two failed

only 1 medicated with Letrozole 0.5 and trigger shot.

About to start my 3rd cycle and it will include Gonal F. I have been seriously thinking of supplementing with DHEA, but I don’t know my levels . I asked my RE and he was a bit dismissive about it. I love my RE, but he is a little old school. So my question is should I just go ahead and try it anyways. I heard some nightmare stories that it can hinder your cycles ( I have regular cycles and ovulate) But I figure i have such low AMH that this could help me plus I’m taking Letrozole, Gonal F and trigger shot next cycle, so those meds will sort of force my body to produce follicles and ovulate anyways. Do the pros outweigh the cons? I’ve also heard so many good outcomes from it. Has anyone have bad outcomes from it? Any insight is greatly appreciated . Trying to make up my mind.

Answer

I've been taking DHEA since April. My AMH is 0.5, FSH 9.5. It hasn't changed my cycle at all. I just did my 2nd egg retrieval, so not sure if it's improved the quality of the eggs per se; can let you know next week if you like. I did get more follicles this time, but actual egg numbers didn't change. I would suggest taking it; whatever helps.

Answer

Yes! Thank you . I hope you get blessed with great news and with your new little angel.

Answer

It depends on your hormone profile. It won’t help AMH but reduced my FSH to under 10. Still had three failed rounds of IVF though. Low AMH means poor response to stims. And 10 failed IUIs. Only problem is age (42-44 during the procedures). With your numbers they should have gone right to IVF...what is your age?

Answer

It’s a hormone so be careful. I took it because I got amh 0.1  and fsh10 and I’m 35. My doc was terrible and gave me no info. I took it for 2 months and before that my periods were 28 days but this month I got really bad acne and have a period after 13 days so i stopped it. Still take omega 3 coq10 melatonin and calcium and prenatals. We are still naturally trying as it hasn’t been long enough. I would ask for a DHEA blood test and see what your levels are. If they are low then take it otherwise I wouldn’t bother. The literature is not strong enough.

Answer

My AMH is 1.45, and at my age they like to see it at least 1.5
Not horrible my doctor said , but they told me to take Ovasitol. I don’t have PCOS, so don’t be fooled- it’s not just for women with PCOS. 
It to enhance the quality of your eggs with lower AMh as well. I bought it on amazon $75 for a 3 month supply. I was told to keep talking it until I’m pregnant. Even when I sought a 2nd, 3rd opinion from different doctors- they all said the same and told me to take this.

Answer

Following.... as I am also contemplating this! I just recently started CoQ10. Also taking “conception” by eu natural. Just hoping these all help and get me some healthy eggs with a BFP!
