I am sure consuming flaxseeds during follicular phase is making my periods more regular i.e. every 29 days instead of 33-35 day with later ovulation. also, lately went to gynae and did not see polycystic ovaries anymore. is this possible with flxseed?

: Flaxseed is known for its potential health benefits, including its ability to regulate menstrual cycles and improve fertility. Flaxseed contains lignans, which are plant compounds that have estrogen-like effects on the body. These lignans can help balance estrogen levels in the body and regulate menstrual cycles.
