DHEA, Where Can I Buy?

10 Replies

Hello to all,

I am thinking to try DHEA now after I heard a strong recommendation from a friend who succeeded her third IVG cycle with it and has a wee boy now.

I failed my 1st round but it was fair enough as I didn't put much effort to make my body to be ready. Didn't even take folic acid and other multivitamins. But after failed my first round and having read many many stories of other people I have realised how stupid I was and am more determined this time.

When I met my new consultant to discuss about our next round which is next month and how we can do differently to improve the chance of pregnancy, I then asked if there's anything I can do to improve egg quality she said no. (Which I don't believe)

But my friend who did her IVF in S.Korea said that her consultant was advising her to so many nutritional pills such as Implamin,coQ10, Inovita, folic Acid, VitaminD3, and DHEA.

My friend said DHEA saved her life as all her eggs were empty and the number was so poor before taking DHEA. But after taking DHEA she managed to have 6 decent sized and good quality eggs and one of them was the golden egg. The rest were so good so they were all frozen as well.

So I am thinking to try DHEA now. But after numerous searches on internet I can't find it. There are few items on eBay but all of them are coming from USA. I would like to buy either EU or UK products if possible.

Does anyone know where I can buy DHEA pls?

Thanks for your reply. Yeah I was almost given up to get DHEA then found one post about it this morning so I asked the lady where she got hers. She told me Biovea. Went on the website and they seem to sell many products. So I am gonna try them this time. Hopefully it works for me. Xx

I can’t say it helped either way I took for 3 mths with other supplements like ubiquinol pqq etc and we did conceive naturally the 3rd mth but we still miscarried was my 3rd mc. I’ve started taking it again with a mix of other supplements even tho I said I wouldn’t lol can’t help it it makes me feel I’m trying at least.

So sorry to hear miscarriage. Hope you have been well recovered from the heartbroken experience. When my first IVF failed I was so devastated so I can't even imagine how tough it would be.

I didn't have any interests in all these supplements before I started reading other people's reviews and stories. Yeah you are right. When my first ivf failed and I know I didn't to the minimum, I felt guilty about not even trying enough. So this time I will do everything I can do. Hopefully it works but if it still doesn't work at least I know I have tried :)

Anyway, best of luck with you and your family. Xx

Biovea.com and it does take 7 days for the delivery.

in reply toDream76

Thank you so much. 7 days! I should be quick then. I heard three months with the dhea was recommended prior to any fertility treatments but my next round is at the end of next month so only a month away. I will order it now. :) xx

I had a bad experience with Biovea when I ordered it online. They took the money and after waiting for 5 days, I thought of checking the status online and noticed that the status about delivery is blank. So I called Biovea and came to know that they didn’t have DHEA in stock. But, no one called me to inform.

I asked for the refund and then checked the availability of 90 tabs or 120 (25mg) in stock, paid on phone and received in 7 days finally.

It’s worth calling them after you order online just to double check that whether they received the order and the product is in stock.

I asked them why they have to show that Dhea is available online on biovea when it is actually out of stock. There was no reply :)

Hi there. Get DHEA from biovea.com. My consultant recommended it to me and it's a reputable site. You need to take 3 x 25mg per day for egg quality. Consider adding Melatonin 3mg too (you can get from this site too).

Other supps I took were Vit D, complex B, Ubiquinol, and Omega 3.

Good luck x

in reply toCAS2

Thank you so much for your kind response. That's good that your consultant is suggesting sth to help you unlike my consultant. I have just ordered 25mg ones. Hopefull DHEA can improve my eggs quality. :) Good luck to you Xx
