A member asked:

Dhea for fertility. i've been one 25mg of dhea for a week. my dheas blood level shows 628 ug/dl. testosterone levels normal. is my dhea level too high?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't: Dhea doesn't help fertility. Don't believe everything you read on the internet. Dhea is converted to cortisone, estrogen or testosterone, and you can't control which it's made into or how much of each. Plus, your pill probably doesn't contain much actual dhea. Don't play with your health and fertility, consult your doctor.
