Dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, \u00a0 is being taken more and more these days with the idea that this will enhance egg quality and help women get pregnant more easily.\u00a0Produced naturally in the body, DHEA is a hormonal precursor. It is needed to create and support\u00a0estrogen and testosterone production, and is highest in women’s 20’s. It is thought to increase fertility by effecting egg count and quality, and therefore embryo quality, lessening the chance of having a miscarriage and increasing the chance of having a healthy baby.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It may make sense to take DHEA if your levels are low and your doctor recommends the supplement. However, in some women it creates symptoms & results that may be irreversible, such as hirsutism (unwanted, male hair-pattern hair growth)\u00a0which may arise from excess male hormones called androgens, primarily testosterone. Treat carefully when you make decisions about vitamins, minerals, supplements and nutraceuticals like DHEA. Always check your supplements with your fertility doctor, doctor of acupuncture, nutritionist or your whichever health care provider you trust and who is overseeing your care as\u00a0DHEA can result in drug interactions or unexpected consequences when used with other fertility medication.<\/p>\n
