Q: Soy Supplements And Fertility/infertility
asked by: fionat3 on February 6th, 2004

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!
