[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP above.  Forgot to add and I take 50mg DHEA to up the number first and reduces to 25mg~50mg to sustain the 200s level.[/quote]

My doctor discourage DHEA since it might increase estrogen and interfere with ovulation.  My thinking is that egg quality is what it is and there might be ways to slow the decline in quality, but you can't reverse time to improve egg quality, unless you have a time machine.

I would have thought this too, but based on what I read in It Starts with the Egg, my understanding is that it is definitely possible to increase egg quality and numerous studies have shown this.  Most of the time your eggs are in a state of suspended animation.  The issue with older women is not that all their eggs have gone bad, but that the environment in which they mature during the three months before ovulation is less ideal than that in a younger woman.  Low DHEA is thought to be one reason for this.  I am the PP who got pregnant on my second IUI and I was taking DHEA, under my RE's supervision (she wasn't convinced it would help, but given my nonexistent testosterone she was confident it would not hurt).

PP here, thanks for explaining that.  I guess maybe I should look into it too. [/quote]
