By supplementing with DHEA, it is possible to raise both to normal levels, and in doing so, dramatically increase the number and the quality of eggs retrieved in IVF. Clinical studies show that supplementing with DHEA significantly increases the pregnancy rate and live birth rate in IVF .

This review evaluated the effects of DHEA treatment on IVF/ICSI outcomes in patients with POR. Our findings indicate that the use of DHEA is associated with a better pregnancy rate, a lower frequency of abortion, but without affecting average oocyte retrieval.

Conclusion DHEA supplementation improved the outcomes of IVF/ICSI in women with DOR or POR. Key words: dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), poor ovarian response (POR), in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) has been reported to improve pregnancy chances with DOR, and is now utilized by approximately one third of all IVF centers world-wide. Increasing DHEA utilization and publication of a first prospectively randomized …

Sep 17, 2018 · Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is now widely used as an adjuvant for in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles in poor ovarian responders (PORs). Several studies showed that DHEA supplementation could improve IVF outcomes of PORs. However, most of the PORs do not respond to DHEA clinically.

Nov 1, 2018 · The aim of this review is to determine if the use of DHEA increases the likelihood of success in patients with POR. We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE using the terms "DHEA and diminished ovarian reserve", "DHEA and poor response", "DHEA and premature ovarian aging".

The analysis included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of the effects of DHEA versus placebo on IVF or ICSI. Two independent reviewers extracted information from the reports and evaluated the quality of the studies. Overall, we identified nine prospective RCTs involving 833 patients.
