HANG ON - check this out too....
Foods that inhibit Estrogen are:
Fruits, citrus fruits, berries, grapes, figs, melons and pineapples.
Vegetables, Cabbage, green beans, onions, corn and squash.
Grains, Millet, white rice and white flour are bad sources of estrogen.
Go for all wholemeal (brown) grains/wheat/patsa/rice and guessing organic is better too!!!! sounds like you will have an expensive shopping list this week!
Hey hun, thats really lousy that it isnt going well on clomid, natural foods are below... my mum also told me Sasparella is a good one for estrogen (apparently) you cannot get this as the fizzy drink - rather from health food stores/natropaths (fingers crossed its in the drink form!). (NOTE: Flazseed in below!)... good luck!

ALSO - if you actually go into a health food store and ask the staff - they should be able to mention more and help you pick vitamins and foods that are good for this... also I would perhaps consult with a natropath - rather then just the quacks/store clerks... I will have another look... good luck!
