p.s.- that was from just a quick little bit of limited research, sometimes phytoestrogens can act to lower your actual estrogen because the body "thinks" it has more estrogen than it really has, so lowers its own estrogen production. Flax seeds work this way. Whether a phytoestrogen can increase CM I don't know, but if it can't, this might actually have some girl sway benefits. The low blood sugar is good, and it is questionable about the testosterone. Don;t think the weight gain is a plus though. Atomic probably has solid info.

Thank you lindi! You are my hero!

I wonder where Atomic is?

My FIL is really sick and we had to go to their house to build a wheelchair ramp. I thought I would be able to get online while I was there but once I got there I realized they were in very low spirits and it felt kinda inappropriate to go onto the computer so I just tried to be as supportive as I could. I"m sorry!!!

No, I had read a Q about this before we left and then got interrupted before I could answer it. I found the same things that you did, there is info pointing both directions so until we get more to go on it's best to just leave it out.
