Hi Kah,

Yeah, I did ask my RE about DHEA and they told me that the research on it is very less to be conclusive that it improves egg quality. And more than that the side effects such as permanent hair loss made me decide not to take dhea. Hope this info helps. Thanks for your wishes:)) Do keep me posted.

best,
Julie

Hi Julie,

I really hope you are right, so far I have not had any that corrected themselves on any of my ivf cycles, maybe this time will be different.  I know a while ago you were going to ask your doctor about DHEA, did you find out anyhing?  Do you think you are going to take it?  I hope your next cycle will be your BFP cycle.  Good Luck.

Good to know you had 5 eggs fertilized!! I have heard from my RE that the embryos correct themselves from fragmentation on their own, so hope the same thing happens here too:) I'm waiting for my next period to start my 2nd cycle of IVF. All the best to you dear.

Julie

HI!
I'm sorry you do not feel optimistic BUT remember what my RE always says:
great babies are born from awful embryos and great embryos do not stick...
keep us posted,

Hi Julie,
How are you doing?  Any new updates with you?  I had 8 mature eggs retrieved  on Saturday at which only 5 fertlized.  Today they called me saying I had a 4, 4, 3, 2, and 1 celled embryos.  All of them have fragmentations.  I'm not getting my hopes too high with this cycle.
