Is DHEA Effective For Treatment Of Infertility?

Hi, I am a female, 34 years old...Hubby is 34 years old as well. My height is 5 feet and weight is 70 kgs. We have been trying for a baby for a little over 5 years now and were diagnosed with "unexplained infertility" in 2009. I had 2 IVF cycles last year. The first one gave a negative result and the 2nd one ended in a very early miscarriage. Am planning to start the 3rd cycle sometime soon. We had a meeting with the consultant and he says that I have a low ovarian reserve. I have been doing some research and came upon DHEA. Is this advisable? What should be the dosage and how long should I take it before starting another cycle and till when in the cycle should I carry on taking it? Does it interfere in any way with the IVF medications?
