Holy Crap--Flaxseed Oil can be bad for fertility too!!!!??

Please dont tell me I just wasted $14.00 on organic flax oil with DHA?  I posted a week ago about wheatgrass shots and found out this can have a negative affect for some IVFers.  Now, I bought and opened some expensive flax oil assuming there could be no possible negative side effects and Im reading that Flaxseed oil can interfere with estrogen levels!  WTF--anyone hear this?

    Don't panic!  My naturopath LOVES flax seed oil and has recommended it wholeheartedly since I started seeing her while still early in TTC #1.  Even pg, she wants me on it rather than fish oil...though I take fish oil too. ;)  But my one consistent since Day 1 of seeing her over 4.5 years ago was flax oil, and I was seeing her for fertility and fertility only.  I wouldn't take a cup every day or anything, but in reasonable amounts, it's super healthy.  She does have me stay away from non-fermented soy for estrogenic reasons, however, but that's it.  No worries!
