DHEA info

I have taken a serious interest in DHEA. The results on aging ovaries and FSH levels have been amazing. I found a good link with other links on it's page. I think the most impressive is the # of older women waiting for an IVF cycle that became spontaneously pg while taking DHEA waiting for their IVF. It also decreases the # of chromosonal abnormalities. Good reading for those who are interested.

It is said to help with many problems, including infertility. It also is said to decrease chemical pg from chromosome issues. There is a long list of ailments that it is reported to cure, all caused from decreased DHEA.  I ordered some yesterday. I guess from what I've been reading and hearing on another forum I belong to, there is a difference between the kind you buy at GNC or other vitamin stores versus pharmacy grade. Most ladies polled agreed the best source to buy is DHEA *******. It takes 3-4 months to get the full benefit from it in most cases. It is also something that you can take too much of. Dr recommends starting low and increasing slowly to 50mg in am and 25mg in pm.

From what I've been reading, low DHEA can cause a variety of problems. Adrenal is a very common one. It leads to exhaustion and depression. They also say low DHEA causes weight gain! It seems too good to be true on many levels. I am definitely going to give it a try.

My DHEA levels were too low and the doctor started me on it during the end of the last cycle.  My FSH is very good (esp. considering I am 37) but it apparently can impact the endocrine system (I think - the thyroid and adrenals, etc.), which can hinder achieving pregnancy!
