I tried DHEA for low AMH – Here’s what happened.

If you have low AMH or are a little older struggling with IVF, you’ve probably heard that DHEA can help—but does it really work?” I had the same question when I first started my IVF journey in Korea. With an AMH of 0.64 at 38, I knew I had to do everything I could to improve my egg quality and follicle count. That’s when I first started taking DHEA—but let’s just say, I learned some things the hard way. In this video, I’ll share how DHEA supplementation is often recommended for low ovarian reserve, what my personal experience was like, and why it’s not something you should start without checking with your fertility doctor first. I’ll also talk about how it impacted my natural pregnancy, miscarriage, and later IVF cycles. If you’re wondering whether DHEA is right for you, I hope my story helps. 💛 *DHEA options: 1) Life Extension DHEA 25mg: https://amzn.to/41X85dG (what I took) 2) Thorne DHEA 25mg : https://amzn.to/42jWeb0 3) Pure Encapsulations DHEA 25mg: https://amzn.to/3FKuPWZ 4) Theralogix DHEA 25mg : https://amzn.to/3Y4CN3q *It Starts with the Egg by Rebecca Fett: https://amzn.to/3FIdrlD Buying through these links sends a little thank-you gift my way—I'll earn a small commission, but it won't cost you anything extra! *Research "Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) supplementation in diminished ovarian reserve: a systematic review and meta-analysis" Published in: Journal of Ovarian Research, 2011. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...

About me ❤ My name is Hellynn and live in the US, but I've traveled to Korea (where I'm from) to undergo multiple rounds of IVF. Being 40 and trying to bring children into the world is hard, but I also have diminished ovarian reserve, so I'm doing back-to-back IVF egg retrievals. Navigating this world of infertility is definitely a challenge - a million new acronyms, hormones and protocols to learn - it's a lot. So I thought I'd just talk about everything I've been learning for the women out there who have had similar struggles. I'm also happy to share info with anyone who is interested in traveling to Korea for IVF, since it's much more cost efficient with high success rates. I am treating this YT channel as my diary, talking about the ups and downs of my journey to motherhood so that one day, hopefully, my babies will see how they were created... with fierce, enduring strength and love. I hope you find my videos helpful - thanks for stopping by.
