ALL of this stopped with the addition of a mederate dose of bi-est and also progesterone and a little testosterone - many things have improved. I had already been following a really good diet, taking supplements on the guidance of a good integrative doctor and had to start on thyroid hormone also. But I was getting worse instead of better as time went on. I would hate to see where I would be were I still not taking any hormones. I was 58 when I started the hormones and not officially through menopause yet. I don't think there is one answer for everyone. Even the little verticle lines above the lip started showing up while I was low on estrogen. Life was miserable. Soy is also a thyroid inhibitor - so I sure can't see how I could have tried THAT! While some of this does make sense I think everyone has to find their own balance. I have not gone up on the hormones and I am fine. My breasts are clear on thermography so no problem there either. I DO intend to keep taking them - for the rest of my life if I find they help. There are women that have taken them for a LONG time and doctors that have been prescribing - in the right balance and a reasonable does and they actually have LESS cancer also. Plus less heart problems, bone loss and other aging things. Not everyone needs them. I do!

Thanks Kevin! I began eating flax crackers on a daily bases. Not sure of the amount but it was not a large amount. For 4 consecutive months I had 2 full menstrual cycles. I had never heard of flax possibly having any estrogen effects on the body. I was following a very clean raw food diet and was very aware of all foods I was consuming. I realized that the only change in my diet was the addition of the daily flax crackers. I stopped consuming flax and my cycle went back to normal the following month. Just to make sure I did not consume any flax for 1 year. Recently I added flax back into my diet and the problems with my cycle started again. So in addition to avoiding soy I also avoid flax. I hope more people are made aware of this potential problem. Thanks again Kevin for keep us informed! I had problems with flax so I am really glad to see this information getting out. Thanks Kevin!

You like to pick your own produce from local trees wherever you go. I do too! For the flax, Dr. Wong says it is very estrogenic and bad for females as well as males as it causes fibroids and is 3 times more estrogenic than soy. I’ll say you got your food for free!

Sarah - I've just looked at the Ladycomp online and it just looks like a very expensive fertility thermometer to me. You can do the same with a regular fertility thermometer and a paper chart - just checked on Amazon UK and you can buy these for as little as £2.99! I've used a fertility thermometer and chart method in the past when trying for a family and I found it easy and could clearly see when my fertile time was - you don't need an expensive gadget. In our case we adopted in the end, but I suggested this method to a friend who was having trouble getting pregnant (over a year of trying) and lent her my thermometer - she got pregnant the first month of using it! @ 42.
