Just adding to this, it is only available in Australia via script and then you have to get it specially made up at a compounding pharmacy.

That is homeopathic which is much different than the stuff we have here in the states or what you would get via a script. Basically homeopathic is like taking a bucket of water and then adding a drop of DHEA into it. Then split that bucket of water up into hundreds of different bottles.

Princess to be honest I haven't googled it, but from what my Aussie RE said it can only be got on prescription in Australia. If you find anything online, then I would say it will not be the same quality as what you need for IVF.

What you have found, like Michaela said is a homeopathic preparation, this is NOT DHEA, homeopathics do not work like vitamins, but work to stimulate a certain reaction, in this case I am assuming the adrenals, this is not what we are talking abou in terms of DHEA and while this preparation may be helpful as with any vitamins or supplements it should be given by a qualified homeopath, as if you are not lacking with homeopathics, the preparation will do absolutely nothing.

I personally love homeopathics but would not use this preparation when talking in what RE's mention as DHEA.

Hard to put much stock in homeopathic hormones. Hormones work by receptor binding. The more receptors bound the more response.
