Soy Supplements And Fertility/infertility Posted: 02-06-04 19:12pm
We have been ttc for 15 months now and I
have problems related to hormone imbalance
and regular cycles. My cycles vary in
length from 28 to 46 days and can be
ovulatory or anovulatory.
I recently read on a few different
websites while researching natural and
herbal remedies to regulate ovulation and
menstrual cycles, that plant
phytoestrogens can be beneficial in
helping to regulate menstrual cycles. So
I went out and bought a phyto-source soy
supplement which contains red clover
extract (trifolium pratense) 200mg,
soyabean (glycine max) 300mg (incl. 7.5mg
isoflavins) and calcium amino acid chelate
250mg.
I now read that soy products, in
particular phytoestrogens have been linked
to infertility in both males and females!
After surfing the net for most of this
afternoon, I am more confused than ever!
It appears as though it only depends on
who's opinion you choose to believe as to
whether they are good or bad for your
fertility!
I would be very grateful to get some more
information on whether the supplement I
have purchased (and have currently ceased
taking pending further information) is
going to help me to conceive or if it is
doing more harm than good!
