Insulin Resistance (POCS) and Adrenal Problems (thyroid too). Need help on advice on how to tackle adrenals.
I did the adrenal fatigue Dr Peatfield protocol years ago, as I too had low cortisol with high testeterone and
DHEA
but being male (and maybe ignorant) didnt bother with the others.

Egg collection complete....now the wait.
Have been taking supplements including
dhea

Adrenal androgens rescue prostatic dihydrotestosterone production and growth of prostate cancer cells after castration.
"The zona reticularis ... produces androgens, mainly dehydroepiandrosterone (
DHEA
),
DHEA
sulfate (
DHEA
-S), and androstenedione".

FSH
Could this be anything to do with me taking
DHEA
? I was advised through forums that this would help fertility. I’ve also been taking Pregnacare.

Dhea
Having awful side effects not sure can cope much longer. Been on 100mg tablets for about 6 to 8 weeks now. Start down reg on short flare protcol 2moro with egg collection mid march. When can i quit? If quit now will intake so far have been pointless? I guess i could keep going for another week or two

dhea
for 3 months) and it was transferred last Thursday, 28th Feb. my consultant said it was a beautiful embryo and everyone has been so convinced it would work. official test is Monday 11th, but

DHEA
- Drenamin- twice a day since I split my prednisone dose. I take it at the same time as the prednisone. Was on 25 mg pred 1 year and 3 months ago. Now on 3.5 mg pred. The
DHEA
is for adrenal support. Is this available in Uk? Any advice welcomed

DHEA - anyone used it?
Our consultant has said that I may want to take a low dose of
DHEA
which may help us to get more eggs. Has anyone tried this? Did you get any side effects? Thanks in advance for any advice. xx

DHEA side effects?
Anyone experienced side effects from being on
DHEA
? Our consultant recommended I take it for 6 weeks prior to our next cycle based on my age (37). I decided to get my DHEAS level tested beforehand and it came back as 3.71 umol/L which is normal for my age.
