I also heard amazing things of CCRM, a girl I cycled with way back went there when she had all kinds of cycles canceled in her Chicago clinic, she did two cycles with CCRM in Colorado and brought home 3 babies!
Best of luck!
Hi,
I also started taking DHEA but its only been a month,How long did you take it?I'm also seeking Dr.Schoolcraft...still have to see how he does.It's just very expensive and they don't have the time to talk you or anything.But they do not seem to refuse anyone as my FSH levels are pretty high (19)
I did DHEA and COQ10 for 3 mos, I ovulated right through BCP with DHEA so I had my cycle canceled and postponed one month when I was not on BCP! It was a lucky cycle, good luck and I hope this brings you the baby you so desire!!!!
it is recommended to take dhea for at least 3 months prior to stims/cycling, and as long as 4 months. some women take it longer although i'm not sure why... best of luck to you and hi to riogirl!
38 yrs. DOR, TTC since '04, recommended DE but didn't listen 3 IVF's & 1 FET: 1 cancellation, 1 m/c @ 12 wks, 1 chemical, 1 miracle boy & miracle 'natural' PG right now while waiting to cycle (WTF?)

oohhh i just saw I am taking DHA and not DHEA!!! what's the difference?!!
DHEA is realted to hormones. I took 75mg a day and 400 mg CO-Q10 (mg units not sure) for 3 mos and had a great cycle. I used the Costco prenatals with DHA.
I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through. I know exactly where you are. It took us 6 cycles to finally have our miracle baby, so it can happen. After the second miscarriage we decided to turn to donor embryos. Our doctor said we could have a baby of our own, but we would be gambling as well. We could not take the emotional stress of any more miscarriages and thougth embryo donation would be our best bet. It was the best decision we ever made. I am not trying to tell you to turn to other options, I am just trying to say that if you keep working toward your goal of having a baby it will happen. Good luck to you in the future!
After 7 attempts (2 negatives/3 miscarriages), we have TWO miracle boys!! If you would like to hear our story, please visit http://www.ivfsuccessstories.info. Never give up, it can happen for you!!
Just needed to vent! after being told I have high FSH,I just had an ectopic pregnancy(this last weekend) which resulted in removal of my left tube
I don't get it how I could have had this with my LOW FSH!!
