DHEA trying to get pregnant at 45 with 20mth old breastfeeding once a day?

Hi!  I am 45 trying to have another baby. My daughter is 20mths and still breastfeeds when she goes to bed, about 5-10mins. I don't really think she gets anything at this point. More a comfort thing. I say this because my left side hasn't produced anything since april and it's now august. That being said I have tried 2 IUI's 1 july and 1 august. I am awaiting to see if august's procedure worked. I take a blood test the 31st.  The last time I tried IUI in 2013 the doctor had me take DHEA 75mg a day and C0Q10 600mg a day.  This time I took just the C0Q10 because I kept seeing that DHEA is not good for people who are breastfeeding. Well my doctor is willing to try 1 more time if this time doesn't work. I was wondering if anyone on here has taken DHEA while still breastfeeding a toddler once a day.  Like I said I really don't think my daughter is getting anything at this point but I don't want to put her in any danger either.  If anyone has any info or cares to share their story I would greatly appreciate it!
I am hoping the test I take on the 31st will be positive!  But if it's not I would want to be ready to add the DHEA back to my supplements Thank you in advance!
