Low testosterone (female) success stories?

Do any other women out there have low testosterone? Was told today that this could be the issue causing our 3 year unexplained infertility. About to start taking DHEA but would love to hear if anyone's had success raising their levels and if it helped at all.

Hi @Sylva123, came across your post & wondered whether taking DHEA improved your fertility & whether you’ve since had success conceiving?

Hello @ladybug06 the dhea worked really well to improve my testosterone and during ivf I was given injectable progesterone which was brilliant and solved the progesterone issue. Unfortunately we didn't conceive - instead we found out that my progesterone was never actually our issue, it was a hidden issue with my husbands sperm, so its the end of the journey for us.

Best of luck with yours

I would try dhea if your consultant suggests it though (it's not right for everyone and can do harm if you don't need it). It helped my levels
