DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a hormone supplement that is sometimes used in specific fertility situations, such as low ovarian reserve, but it is not routinely recommended for all women trying to conceive and should not be started without a doctor's advice, as it can affect hormone balance and may cause side effects like acne, hair growth, or menstrual changes. For most women, ovulation and fertility are better supported through a healthy lifestyle (balanced diet, regular exercise, stress control), correcting deficiencies (like thyroid, vitamin D, or iron), and using doctor-prescribed treatments if needed (such as ovulation-inducing medicines). Consult a gynaecologist or fertility specialist for proper evaluation before starting any supplement, to ensure safe and effective planning for pregnancy.
