Periods Are Regular. Blood Tests, Biopsy Are Normal. Suggested DHEA. Is It Safe To Conceive At This Age? Side Effects For DHEA?

Hi,
I am 38+, married for 1 yr now, TTC from north india. My periods are regular so far with cycle length variyign form 34 days to 37 days in last 6 months. I consulted gynaecologyst one month back. She wrote some blood tests on day 2 and suggested for endrometrinal biopsy. Most blood tests are normal, Hb is 10.8, FSH is 10.39, TSH is 4.46, Prolactine is 28.48, LH is 6.28, LH/FSH ration is 0.6. Biopsy results (8th June, 23 day after last period) were normal and didnt find any harmful virus of TB, Cancer or AID.Bleeding/spoting remained till 12th june with almost nill spoting on 10th June. I then underwent HSG on 18 June (11th day after endrometrinal biopsy). HSG results are also normal, show normal shape and size and unblocked fallopean tubes. I was then suggested for DHEA 25mg (Grofer) thrice a day for a month along with pyrilong F tablet twice a day (my Hb is 10.8) and IUI in next cycle. I wished to try for normal concepion before going for IUI or other Artificial methods. I have not eben takign any vitamin supplements so far. I ahve a few questions:
1. Is it safe to conceive naturally at this age in this cycle when I hadnt started any vitamin supplements so far, also I udnerwent HSG in this cycle.
2. I havn't started above prescribed medicines so far. I heard DHEA has many side effects and causes infertility in logn run. Please suggest if DHEA would be appropriate or I should go for multivitamins and natural methods for decreasing FSH. I read somewhere that taking DHEA has side effects and also may result in infertility as body already has high FSH, and taking DHEA will increase it further in long run!
