Familiar anxiety - on cusp of 3rd cycle
I was off the last three weeks of work on annual leave luckily - which has helped me come down from stress - and I've been taking more supplements (
DHEA
and CQ10 and vit d and a high protein diet) to try and improve my egg quality.

Help with bloods, high cholesterol. I am on 50mcg T4
My
DHEA
is very low. But my thyroid results don't look good and I have high cholesterol—does anyone know if it is very likely related? a quick google search says there might be a correlation.

DHEA
Has anyone had any experience with
DHEA
? I have heard a lot about it helping the embryos reach the blastocyst stage which I’m struggling with. The consultant at my first clinic recommended I avoid it but i just had my 3rd cycle at a second clinic and it’s failed so I want to try something. X

Not reaching blastocyst - is that it for us?
I’ve asked about
DHEA
and the consultant said it won’t do any harm but there isn’t much evidence behind it working. Any advise or experience would be amazing. Thank you!

Cortisol saliva results
DHEA
towards top end of range. Does any of this mean anything to anyone? I presume that this would now rule out cushings and make prolactinoma less likely. Can low evening cortisol cause fatigue and weight gain too? Thanks x

Thyroid and vertigo
I also take whole raft of vitamins: B12, B complex, Vit D3 and K2,
DHEA
for my adrenals and iron, and at my last test everything is optimal apart from ferritin which I can’t raise above 30 without high iron saturation and 25ish seems to suit me. However in the last 2 weeks I’ve developed vertigo.

Been to hormone specialist...not sure what to think?!
These are the drugs she prescribed: Erfa, Medrol, Oestrogel, Utrogestan, iodine, growth hormone,
DHEA
, pregnenolone, melatonin and something she called "a feel good hormone".

Only 2 follicles found at 1st follow up scan 😞 - has this happened to anyone else?
This time i took
dhea
for 3 months before stims and i still only got 2 viable follicles (11mm and 12mm) and one small follicle at 7mm. On my baseline scan i had 8 follicles so was feeling hopeful as previously i had to abandon one cycle and in the other cycle i only produced 2 mature eggs from.
