    Thank you so much for this information. Sometimes we are so desperate for our precious baby we will try ANYTHING, even if it doesn’t help.

    Thank you for this information! I had no idea about these conflicts of interest. I found out on my own with my own egg retrievals that there is no difference with using DHEA or not.
    Can you do a video on women under 40 with DOR and myoinositol? I have this condition and found some papers showing that it might be effective for lowering stimulation medication needed and improving maturity rates. But I don’t want to keep buying myoinositol if the body of evidence doesn’t support any improvements for women with DOR and IVF success rates. Hopefully myoinositol isn’t just the next DHEA.

      There is a small amount of evidence that inositols may be of some benefit to people with PCOS. There is no evidence that it will improve DOR or IVF success. Check out my video on inositol for more info

    Omg, thank you for the information, Dr. Morris! Will it harm chances of IVF working? Unfortunately, I read part of that book and made it part of my supplement routine before my husband and I started our first IVF cycle recently. I stopped taking it before then. Will it still hurt the outcome? Please tell me the truth!

      You just never know with supplements. I just read in the news today about a very well-known us supplement company that is being sanctioned by the FDA for among other things not making sure that their supplements actually contained what they said they contained. There are lots of anecdotal stories of people taking fertility supplements being harmed. I will tell one such story in an upcoming episode

    Hi there, I’ve had 7 miscarriages and repeated implantation failure from ivf now unfortunately. For our last remaining genetically normal embryo I was looking do to the kitchen sink protocol and throw everything at it. Previously we have only added Cole and into the mix as an adjuvant therapy. I have a positive ANA and APS plus slightly elevated NK cells, so was looking at the antihistamine protocol, prednisone, intralipids, neupogen wash and potentially PIO injections as well as the progesterone pesseries, estrace/lupron. I was looking at DHEA as well but after watching this perhaps not. Are you able to kindly let me know your thoughts on the above protocol? And if you would recommend that and/or further uterus testing such as ERA, receptive DX or abd endometrial function test. I’ve not had any signs of endo or PCOS in the past but not sure why we are having failures with normal good quality embryos 🥺

    • @InfertilityTV
      @InfertilityTV  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Most people don't seem to understand that taking some of these things may actually hurt your chances. I have videos you should watch on NK cells, Prednisone, ERA and other tests. Watch them. Then watch my video about "normal" embryos (They're not)

    Does calcium ionosphere (sp?) help? My doctor is suggesting it.

    Please make more video regarding the book is there other supplement which is not required or about the dosage recommended in the book. Please enlighten us. Thank you

    • @InfertilityTV
      @InfertilityTV  Před 8 měsíci +2

      More videos coming in the next few weeks. Bottom line is stop taking supplements recommended in that book

    What if I have low DHEA levels from the blood test? And low testosterone as well? Would it help to normalize the levels?

    a subreddit im in has this book as the book club book but it read like a textbook!

    My doctor here in Korea told me to take DHEA. Then I changed a doctor and she told me to stop it due to the potential side effects.

    I bought that book but never touched DHEA.

    • @InfertilityTV
      @InfertilityTV  Před 8 měsíci +7

      You shouldn't touch anything else in that book. Stay tuned for the next few weeks to learn about all the harm these supplements do

      It was confounded to hell and back. Everything she said just showed that wealthier people get better outcomes.
      Think about it. Who can afford go get rid of all plastic? Who can afford a Mediterranean diet without using tinned fish?

    What is someone tested low DHEAs level? I assume supplementation is then justified
