Hi tuscany!

You know, after reading about a gazillion posts on this forum, I think everyone is just different! I can see for myself that what works for one or another person would not work for me. (and believe me, I've tried everything, so I'm not making a decision based on conjecture).

Even though we are all human beings, apparently our metabolisms react differently to different substances, and I'm sure genetics (and life experience) plays some part in all this, too.

After all, why are some people carb-sensitive and others not?

So, what ever works, do it!

As far as the soy estrogen vs. the pill estrogen - that's a very interesting hypothesis! I never thought of it, since I'm not on the pill, either. You might want to do a little research on it, if it would give you any more insight.

By the way, how are you doing?
