Kel - I would love to be able to promise you something - but so much of this is still a mystery. What I tell myself when I panic during the TWW, is that they pick the BT day for a reason - that's when they expect the levels to be there for a definitive BFP. So I'd say, until BT day (unless AF comes) there is - of course - a chance you are pregnant.

Sara - the dr put me on 20mg - but I called him yesterday to tell him I had m/c (I was not taking the DHEA while pregnant, but had the script and filled it when I started to bleed) - I asked, and he agreed, that I should increase it to 40 mg a day. He said to watch my skin etc (and I do have 2 pimples right now and that's pretty unusual for me). He is reluctant to have me take too much and I'm going to defer to his expertise - although he did acknowledge that all the DHEA fertility studies were based on 75mgs of DHEA. He said this is a lot for most women to handle without having skin/extra hair growth so he wanted me to gradually up it.
