5th ivf cycle

Hello all, I had my 5th retrieval cycle today and unfortunately I had 2 eggs with only outer cumulus so no eggs to go ahead with my cycle. I am devastated as I had a lot of hope. I am 40 and had a positive cycle early this year but miscarried soon after testing positive. I had testosterone and DHEA the recent two cycles in a different clinic in a different country. My DHEA was slightly lower but was put on 75 mg until the day before retrieval and I have read here that DHEA has worked worse for some people. Any positive words or experiences after multiple failures is much appreciated. Thanks!

Sorry you never got your answer. I'm trying to decide whether to take DHEA and have read a little of negative effects. I have such low response that maybe there's no reason not to. Did you ever tweak your doses? I was told by a specialist (she was actually an nhs Dr. which is my grounds for trust) to take it for three months before treatment but I never did as I was a bit freaked out at drugs off the internet. I've moved on from that now!
