flax and menstruel cycle
Hello all you PCOS ladies,
I don't have PCOS but I am curious about something. There is an abstract in pubmed that shows that flax seed consumption lengthens the luteal phase of the menstruel cycle. Have any of you guys notices a longer menstruel cycle when low carbing? when eating flax seed? when doing both?
The same abstract also noticed a significant increase in progesterone:estradiol ratios, which means less estrogen dominance. I always thought that flax would increase estrogen dominance, not reduce it. Does anybody have any light to shed here? Love, TFUP
