There's a woman on the pregnancy 35+ forum who's taking DHEA to improve her FSH score.  I've heard of it improving egg quality but there's hardly any information or study out there to really prove it.  Ask your re about it - other than that, there's very, very little to be done to improve egg quality - it's linked mostly to age.

Anyway, investigate DHEA and see what you come up with - hope this helps - jen
