Thanks! (m, DE,pg,m/c ment))

The first time I took it was after 6 chemicals, an ectopic and a blighted ovum. I got it from the pharmacy used by CHR in NYC. I started at 25mg 3x/day. I was on that dose for almost 3 months when I got pg w/ the twin gestation (b.o. and Trisomy 11). I had never seen a baby or hb up to that point. That was in Sept 05 when I had just turned 43. In Jan I had another ectopic so I got on the donor list. I started TTC when my DE DD was 6 months and started DHEA again but this time got it from DHEA .com. I started at 25mg 2x/day and dropped to 25mg/day after a few weeks. Both times the only side effects I had were oily skin and acne. My acne was large and painful but no hair loss etc.
I think more research needs to be done so AMA women can determine who it is right for. I think it can be huge for some women as far as success. The CHR site feels it helps with anuploid sp? eggs which us older women have. I also put my DH on supplements...can't remember if I did before I moved on to donor.
Bottom line... something made the difference for me. I added Dexamethasone and did low stims (vs high stims)with the DHEA this last time around so I can't say for sure what did the trick. I know I had some endo so maybe the successful pg did the trick. I can't help but think the DHEA helped since I got farther than I ever did the first time I took it.
Sorry for babbling but I wish I could know for sure so I could potentially help others in the same boat.
Good luck!
