Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid, is similar to a natural hormone produced by your adrenal glands. Which i guess it why you have it?? It says its often is used to replace this chemical when your body does not make enough of it.
I found this link if this is the medication you are talking about...it sounds like if you do become pregnant not to take it anymore but it doesn't say what effects can happen with it. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/d...r/a682792.html
Good luck.

Vickey,
Yes I have heard of dexamethasone. I began last October taking Met + Dex. My RE wanted me to try this for 3 months to see if AF would come on its own & before adding Clomid to the mix. Right at that 3 month mark AF did come, so I think the dexamethasone helped.
You know it's a steroid right? For the high androgen levels.

hi
my endo said that Pred (Dex by another name), would help with my cortisol hormone levels.
