Can DHEA Be Taken While On Birth Control Pills?

I had a failed IVF cycle. My Doc would like me to start IVF again right away, but I would like to wait. If I start taking DHEA because of my low ovarian reserve, can I take it with birth control pills before I start stimulating?Usually, my doc has me take birth control pills for about two weeks before starting the IVF cycle. Or do I stop taking DHEA when I start taking birth control pills? When do I stop taking DHEA?
