DHEA, what’s happening?

[troupe]

Morning all, well new cycle and have been steadily and religiously doing my fertility yoga, long walks, med diet, ubiquinol, omega 3, pre conception vitamins, vit D3, new to the list is choline, DHEA, and finally wheatgrass. I have to have a list on the wall to break down all these tablets to when and how to take and there are a couple I have forgotten probably! This cycle, and I’m two days into prime time (ovulation on Friday) and on Monday my opk sticks were getting darker but yesterday evening it was nothing again and my clear blue digital is just showing a blank circle for two days. I think I’m panicking about the addition of DHEA, only 25mg a day. Although I have low numbers and Low egg count I feel empty and that nothing is working. Six years in April on this journey and feeling really low and looking into the giving up abyss. How can you keep carrying on?

Hi troupe. Oh dear! DHEA is usually taken 3 times a day for a couple opf months before any improvement is noticed - can't be guaranteed. Fingers crossed for next time. Diane
