OBJECTIVE: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) supplementation of women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) significantly improves oocyte/embryo numbers, quality, time to pregnancy, IVF pregnancies, cumulative pregnancies, and reduces miscarriages. This study attempts to determine whether DHEA objectively improves ovarian reserve (OR).

DESIGN: Cross-sectional and longitudinal cohort study.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) was evaluated in 120 women with DOR, supplemented with micronized DHEA for 30 - 120 days (mean 73 ± 27) at 25 mg TID. OR was evaluated using linear regression, assessing AMH over DHEA days. 55 women reached in vitro fertilization (IVF), were longitudinally evaluated and assessed for pregnancy, examining interaction between DHEA days and pregnancy in regard to AMH response.
CONCLUSIONS: This study presents objective evidence for improvements in OR after DHEA at all ages. Concurrent with reported clinical outcomes, it is more pronounced in younger (premature aging) than older (physiologic aging) women. DHEA-associated improvements in OR statistically reflect subsequent improvements in cumulative clinical pregnancy rate. AMH, therefore, is reflective of improving OR and pregnancy chances in women who receive DHEA supplementation.
