Soya milk delays period ??

Hi Atomic,

Wondering what your thoughts were on soya milk?

Reason I ask is I’ve always had regular periods, nothing unusual and always been luck to have no issues, roughly 28-30 day cycle... until this month suddenly it was 43 days. Really not sure why? Perhaps it’s quite normal to just have a long cycle once in your life ? Or is there normally a reason for it.


This last month I’ve introduced soya milk in to my diet, certainly not in large quantities though- just in cups of tea, and I wonder whether this was the reason?

I suppose you could say I had pcos tendencies... unwanted hair on stomach and chin but still always regular periods so I don’t know whether my age (31) or the fact I’ve gained a bit of weight recently might have caused the long cycle.

Would appreciate your thoughts on this [emoji9]

Thanks

Yes, it absolutely can mess with people's cycles. Soy has phytoestrogens in it that mimic estrogen and compete with estrogen receptors. But normally you'd need to be drinking a lot more than just a bit in tea to see that happen.

Weight gain with PCO tendencies can also cause a change in cycle.

But it may just be that this was a one-off and won't continue next month.
