Question for all those taking DHEA

Due to my poor response to IVF attempt 1 and low AMH I asked my RE about DHEA and he suggested a particular brand that I have been taking 2x/day ( thought the bottle recommends 3x). I started this about a month ago. According to my OPK I O'd really early for me around day 10 or 11. I am now 4 days late for AF and though I haven't taken another test recently, an hpt at 16dpo was negative so I figured I was out. Now I am super confused! Did anyone else have either false positive OPKs or longer cycles on DHEA? Stupid IF is toying with my mind especially on Christmas!

 

Thanks all- merry Christmas!

Ticker warning

 

i was on DHEA in between attempts at IVF. My RE's plan was to have me on it 3-4 months before a 2nd attempt. I was not keeping track of ovulation dates ever and on my 2nd month on DHEA I got a surprise bfp. I had had my one weirdo 10d early period after IVF 1 Stims only (no ER) and then my next AF was relatively on time I think and then I thought I was late for my third period and that the hormones still had me all switched around but I was PG. Based on when we exercised I must've ovulated around mid cycle for that to work. 

Not sure that answers your question but hopefully it helps. I was on three times a day dosing.  
Me: 30 DH: 29
TTC since 09/10; azoospermia Dx 12/10
Found sperm! 12/11 after 10 months of FSH and hCG injections
IVF #1 04/12 - cancelled (poor response and new Dx of DOR)
Surprise BFP 06/27 on DHEA, Beta #1 1718 06/28!!!!

My period came 3-5 days early the first month on DHEA. It also gave me oily skin.

Your post is interesting! I'm in the same boat! I just had a failed IVF Cycle. I was put on DHEA. I was told two weeks into taking it that i needed to stop because my levels were in the 700s, 300s are normal.

 

My period is 4 days late this cycle, and the pregnancy tests say negative.

Thanks for letting me know i'm not the only one!
