Eating and soy and fertility?

Does anyone know of any research out there about eating soy products while TTC? I eat a lot of soy and just wondering if it's helping or hurting.

Hi huni, not really an expert but i drank soya milk and ate soya based yogurts and someone then told me soya is a natural contraceptive. This made me stop taking them right away, even though i'm not sure if it is completely true. I have googled it and there are some studies out there that suggest large amounts of soy in the diet can decrease fertility.
I also spoke to a nutritional therapist about it and she said soy products should be avoided when TTC.

Hope this helps.
