Sassy - If the omega three six issue is in your thoughts the keys are DHA/EPA intake and balancing the omega threes and sixes.
In most diet six is already high. Multi oils include six. If the multi is your only source it would depend on the composition of the multi oil. If you are also getting six from other sources fish oil is preferable. Fish oils has lots of different fats in it including omega 9 a little six MCTs etc.

DHA is important. Women have a higher need and conversion rate than men assuming you metabolism is working well. The safest option has to be to help the body out and take it in the form of fish or similar.
Please talk to your advisor about any dietary changes.
DHA Oestrogen -
DHA/fats and oestrogen are definately linked - eg high exercising low body fat women losing reproductive cycles. I am off to look at annorexia etc to see if there is any information on the mechanisms.
