Anyone had any experience with DHEA for a low AMH
They have given me the option of private treatment using
DHEA
for 12 weeks prior to IVF with the aim of improving the AMH. Has anyone used or have similar experiences?

Adrenal stress test - is the Secretory IgA part important?
I want to find out if I have adrenal fatigue or similar so I'm looking at ordering a 24 hour saliva test, either the Adrenal Stress Profile which tests cortisol and
DHEA
, or the comprehensive one which adds Secretory IgA. Has anyone done these tests, and would you recommend the comprehensive one?

CQ100 or Cq10
I cannot tolerate
DHEA
now though. Has anybody had any side effects from taking Cq 10 in large doses. I have read on the net that large doses are quite beneficial and safe. Yours john C

I think my adrenals are wrecked. What should I do?
And do you think it's okay for me to go to H&B looking for adrenal/cortisol support tablets or even
DHEA
this morning? Thanks

First Endo app and birth control pill??
My doctor has referred me to see an Endo after seeing my results from private tests showing my
DHEA
is very very low at 0.03 and my cortisol is borderline high with 2 out of 4 samples showing high. I presume the endo will want to test my hormone levels?

Has anyone had a 'withdrawal' from dhea? It seems have caused my adrenals to crash (again). What next?.....
I've tried a few things (B vits, ginseng, nutri adrenal) and added
dhea
to the mix on the advice of my dr (off the list). As I increased the
dhea
I got really irritable (bordering on the mental) and acne. Nice. So I reduced my dose by half to about 5mg a day.

Cortisol/DHEA test that does not require referral?
I tried to buy a test from Geneva Diagnostics but they need a practitioner number and I don't have one. Are there any places that will sell tests to individuals without the middle man?

DHEA
: Cortisol ratio 0.70 (range 2.0-6.0) If anyone can shed any light on these as I'd

Hashimoto's, Pernicious Anemia, and Headaches..Help!!
I was started on 2 grains of NDT and 5mg B12 sublingual as well as B6, a multivitamin, reacted iron,
DHEA
and progesterone. I was already on 10,000IU of Vitamin D daily. Before my diagnosis I was getting these horrible muscle spasm headaches that would send me to the hospital.

What do you think about 24hr urine tests for cortisol (adrenals) vs 24hr saliva cortisol tests?
When I did the 24hr saliva samples, my cortisol and
DHEA
were below the norm in the morning, higher than norm at lunch and much higher than the norm at midnight.
