Becky, have no idea of that one, but it sure is interesting if so. I was theorizing that working ovaries "sense" the lowering of estrogen in the body from the AI's and thus work harder to make more.

TO all following this conversation; do you have any opinions on DIM supplements? I didn't realize these may work specifically on the estrogen factor until reading a bit more lately.
