Hi there,
Soy flavones causes enhanced production of estrogen and increase the chances to ovulate. It should not be taken for more than five days in a row every month. If you exceed the duration it can have negative effects on ovulation causing imbalances in your natural cycle. It is best to discuss your concerns and queries with your doctor about its usage and possible effects. Do write to me again.
Best wishes and regards!
