Welcome everyone

Hi there - I've gotten a few more followers who are in the same boat - or want to be in the same boat - well this on is heading for Colorado, so hang onto your hat and FSH level. Thank you all for caring and wanting to come along. I'll try to keep down the acronyms, as not all my followers are IVF sailers.

Over the holidays, I'm wondering if I should go off DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) for my Cholimd Challenge, as it has a tendancy to mess with hormone readings - most of the time for the better, very rarely for the worse, but I want my doc in Colorado to be aware of my true readings, not DHEA influenced. And, trying to keep my weight down - the holidays and DHEA have not been friendly to it. DHEA is supposed to lower your weight as well as many other bonus side effects but it has had the opposite effect on me....great! So all the best for the holidays everyone and I'll keep you posted!

  1. I don't know much about DHEA, but it's definitely a good idea to help your hormone levels return to their regular function. Totally understand about weight gain around the holidays--I have had the same problem this year, although I think mine is more pity party/stress induced. : )
