I started drinking soymilk about 1 year ago and around that time I noticed spotting inbetween periods. It is always about a week before it comes.
Does drinking soy milk mess with your period?

I think this is very unlikely.

Not sure, but a lot isn't good for women hormones

I suffered from heavier and longer periods when I drank soy milk - so I've switched to drinking organic coconut milk now.

Coconut milk is a good idea I think I will give that a try and see if it helps. Thank you!

It hasn't messed with mine.
09/18/2012
It hasn't messed with my cycle.
09/18/2012
I haven't noticed that, but then, I experience similar spotting.. maybe I'll switch, too, and see what happens!

Some of the more recent data has shown that the "phytoestrogens" that are in soy products are simply NOT absorbed and used by the human body AS an estrogen.
I've used soy products for years and never seen any difference, it certainly didn't help (as an estrogen would) when I went into premature peri-menopause.
If you think it's having an effect, avoid it for about 3 months and see if it makes a difference, then re-introduce it and see if the same thing happens. My guess it is isn't the soy that causing the problem.

I've heard stories and read data both ways. I think it's definitely a case of YMMV (your mileage may vary)

No, never had a problem.

If it did, that'd certainly be a mix-up, lol.

nope never has.

I heard consuming a lot of soy affects your estrogen levels. I prefer almond milk myself.
11/01/2012
That's... Not, I've never had a problem like that. It makes me wonder if maybe something else happened around that time that you weren't as aware of?

There is nothing in soy milk that should do this. If you are on birth control spotting is a sign your dose is not right. If it is late in the cycle (such as in your case) you may need to increase the progesterone content.

its possible it could cause problems. soy contains a compound that is similar to the estrogen hormone. i cant remember it exactly but its something along those lines.

I have never had any problems with soy milk, but I understand the concern regarding high amounts of soy and increased estrogen. In all of the grocery stores I've been too, I've seen almond milk at almost the exact same price as soy. It's quite tasty also! Hope that helps!

I used to drink soy milk.. Never noticed.

Soy is xenoestrogenic, and goitrogenic, which means it pretty much messes up your hormones. If you're vegan or "lactose intolerant" (the latter I recommend raw cow's or goat's milk if available) almond or coconut milk are better choices. They do have a lot of additives, but for people who won't consume cow's milk for whatever reason, at least they don't interfere with hormones.
What really gets me is soy INFANT formula...but we won't highjack the thread.
