Taking DHEA and DHA of Omega 3 fish at the same time.

[Nakijo]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if its okay taking both DHEA 50mg a day and DHA from fish oil the same time to improve egg quality. I am 40 and will be 41 in 3 months

you should only take DHEA if you’ve been prescribed it by your clinic as it is not recommended for women with good to reasonable AMH and has side effects. You should discuss with your clinic if you can take other things with it too but please please be careful with this! It’s not like the other vitimins that we can just dabble with to see if it makes a difference 🤗

Thanks dear for your advice. Will talk to my Doctor about it

Hi Nakijo - Ive never heard of any issue with taking both together. But I follow Rebecca Fetts "it starts with the egg" supplement suggestions. And just to say I'd agree with Twiglet. I understood you'd only take DHEA after testing very low for testosterone or advised by your clinic if you're over 40 if they believe it's necessary (ie for low AMH). My dr told me they only suggest 75mg/day in the 4 weeks before egg collection - not as a regular supplement. Good luck xx

'It starts with the egg' by Rebecca Fett is great for detailed advice on these kind of things - based on her book I got my DHEA-S and testosterone levels checked, then took DHEA (at 40).Best of luck

Thanks for the response. May I ask, how did the cycle you used DHEA go?

My son who's now almost 2 came from my first egg collection with DHEA 😊

Congrats on your son and thanks for the response. If you don't mind asking you again, how long did you take DHEA and how much a day?
