It is actually the serge in LH that causes estrogen to be prduced in high dosages.

At the same time, the surge in LH makes the cervical mucus thinner so that the sperm can reach the egg in order to fertilize it.
Foods that contain phytoestrogens include soy foods such as tofu, soy milk, tempeh and soy protein powder. Other foods have estrogenic effects, meaning that the body can "mistaken" them for estrogen: fennel seed and cinnamon are two examples.
Women undergoing menopause generally experience declining levels of estrogen, and this can make their menopausal symptoms worsen. Their doctors might advise them to eat foods that have phytoestrogens to help them boost their overall estrogen levels.

- Foods that have phytoestrogens include all soy foods made from soy beans: soy milk, commercial soy desserts, tofu curd, soy powder protein, tempeh and "mock" Hamburgers and Hot Dogs made from soybeans.
Other estrogenic foods include alfalfa, apples, beets, carrots, cherries, chickpeas, citrus fruits, black-eyed peas, eggs, cinnamon, celery, dairy foods, eggs, fennel seed, flax seeds, garlic, potatoes, wheat, yams, pomegranates, red beans, sunflower seeds, tomatoes and sage.
- While men and children can benefit from eating soy foods for its protein and low fat, foods that contain phytoestrogens are normally emphasized for women experiencing menopause: They need more estrogen.
Generally, menopausal women undergo some kind of hormone testing to determine if they need more estrogen--of which there are three types--or another hormone.
There is something called estrogen disruptors or xenoestrogens, where different elements in the environment can act like "false estrogens" and be absorbed by the body. The result is a woman who still has a menstrual cycle may be prompted from her exposure to these xenoestrogens to have a second cycle even though she already had one less than four weeks prior.
If you are in menopause, ask your doctor if you should include more of the foods listed above to increase your level of estrogen.
- Soy foods were once quite bland and not very palatable: Today, that is not the case. Chocolate soy milk or spicy soy sausage links can be purchased in most health food stores. Women who are on a restricted calorie diet will find that 3 oz. of soy has only 70 calories per ounce and 7 g of protein, similar to an egg and about 23 mg of isoflavones, the dominant type of phytoestrogens.
Chinese herbs such as red clover, black cohosh and dong quai may provide isoflavones, and that is why these herbs are featured prominently in PMS and menopausal supplements.
- Do not self diagnose. If you are perimenopausal or in menopause, have your hormone levels tested. Not all women need to add estrogenic foods to their diets: Some women may have too much estrogen and be low in progesterone instead.
A saliva home test or an in-office blood test performed by a doctor will provide the information you need to determine if eating phytoestrogenic foods is appropriate for you.
Eating certain foods will end up deterring the benefits derived from eating soy foods. Consuming broccoli, cabbage, berries, buckwheat, citrus fruits, corn, figs, green grapes, millet and white flour is believed to make it hard to absorb the isoflavones you desire.
- Soy foods have been consumed by men and women for millennia. Some men may fear that eating soy foods will boost their estrogen levels and "feminize" them. Generally, this is not a genuine risk for men as they produce such large amounts of testosterone.
There is a risk for cancer if you overconsume soy foods: One study in 1999 showed that consuming only two servings of a soy-based protein powder providing 45 mg of soy isofavones a day could increase cell growth in women's breast tissues.
Such as: Soy Milk, soy beans, tofie: which is made from beans.

Hormones such as FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) can be used to treat infertility by stimulating ovulation in women who have irregular or absent ovulation. FSH promotes the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, while LH triggers the release of an egg during ovulation. In some cases, estrogen or progesterone may be administered to help prepare the uterine lining for implantation or to support early pregnancy.
