Uhm. I don't know if this was a typo on your part, or a misunderstanding... They ARE compatible. Intentional full negative wording can be confusing, I understand, since it's becoming so common these days that people use it accidentally.
SP does have a phytoestrogen, but it doesn't compete strongly and is very miniscule in amount, so it won't have any impact on stronger intentional phytoestrogens such as PM.
And yeah, SP can give a small bit of growth for some people all on it's own simply by blocking the DHT which was blocking the bodies E. It did for me, I'm pretty well almost certain that the soy I was taking previously had little to nothing to do with my sudden bit of boob last year before starting things seriously this year.
Excess body hair in females isn't always because of excess testosterone, though. Sometimes it's excess progesterone. Sometimes it's pseudohyperaldosteronism. Sometimes it's real hyperaldosteronism.
IMO, look each of these things up and decide for sure if you think you have excess testosterone, or progesterone, or hyperaldosteronism-like symptoms. Then if the lattermost, try to determine if it's pseudo or the real deal. Which might be harder to do without a hormone test.
Then you should treat accordingly. If excess T, then you'll want to use a T-blocker, SP is an excellent one, if excess P, then you'll want to use an estrogen supplement at the appropriate time in your cycle, if hyperaldosteronism, you'll want to suppress aldosterone, if pseudo, then you'll have to talk to a doctor, that's almost impossible to treat without prescription. You can try to suppress symptoms, but you can't actually treat the condition except through prescription.
