A method of improving cumulative embryo score may comprise administering an androgen to a human female, for example, DHEA, for at least about four consecutive months followed by harvesting and fertilizing oocytes and forming embryos. Between about 50 mg and about 100 mg of DHEA may be administered to a human female per day. Moreover, a method of increasing the quantity of fertilized oocytes in one cycle of in vitro fertilization may comprise administering an androgen to a human female for at least about four consecutive months, harvesting and fertilizing the oocytes. Furthermore, a method of increasing the quantity of day 3 embryos from one cycle of in vitro fertilization may comprise administering an androgen for at least about four consecutive months, harvesting and fertilizing the oocytes and forming day 3 embryos. A method of normalizing ovarian DHEA also may include administering an androgen for at least about four consecutive months. A method of increasing the rate and number of euploid oocytes may include administering an androgen for at least about four consecutive weeks. In addition, a method of increasing male fetus sex ratio may comprise raising baseline androgen levels in a female prior to or at time of embryo implantation.
