can soy helps my fertility?


Diane - April 18th, 2011 2:06 PM

i read this from my research and it says from few studies that high levels of soy protein may decrease fertility.

It is said that high levels of soy can increase menstrual cycle length, decrease FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and decrease LH (leutinizing hormone).

what is the advisable drinking of soy?


jen - April 18th, 2011 3:00 PM

i heard that three 12-ounce glasses of soy milk equivalent to 60 g soy protein equivalent to 45 mg of isoflavones for a month. However, normally most people do not consume this much soy.

Nope. in fact from a study it has shown that since the phytoestrogens in soy products increase the length of the follicular phase and lead to fewer menstrual cycles over a woman’s lifetime then soy decrease fertility in some women.

soy can add multiple risk factors for infertility. If you are used to Soy then avoid it.

One study has been shown that eating high levels of phytoestrogens present from soy can have adverse effects on fertility.

Oh really???

But i read few weeks ago from a recent review that reproductive and developmental toxicity studies did not find significant variations in fertility from soy phytoestrogens consumption in healthy couples, indicating that normal intake of soy is basically harmless to your fertility and hence your chances of becoming pregnant or maintaining a pregnancy.

If you love soy and for any reason you are experiencing fertility problems, it certainly is a good idea to limit soy in your diet to rule out any possibilities of its effect on your fertility. Just to be sure :D
