When should I stop DHEA?

[prg5266]

Have been taking DHEA  since 8/08, and took a cycle of Clomid. Will be OV time soon, in fact the OPK looked slightly positive this morning. Should I stop taking DHEA now, or just keep taking until...when? How many of you are taking DHEA and do you take breaks from it?

You should continue until you get a bfp. The placenta is a DHEA making factory, so you won't need it once a bfp is achieved.

It can take up to 4 months to get the full benefit from it, too. From what I have read it is best to take the microlized pharmacy grade kind vs. the kind at GNC.

Not taking DHEA under Dr's orders...she doesn't even know yet. I will tell her tomorrow when I go to see her.
I started taking DHEA after reading so much about it and because we have been TTC for almost 3 years with a mc as the only result, I figured what harm could it do. I am taking it along with my Clomid.
We'll see what happens.

I take DHEA supplements because my DHEA-S test came back low, so I don't stop and I take 25 mg/day.  Are you taking it under Drs' orders?
