Hi Susan,
Happy to read it all went well so far. Best of luck with the tail of it.
Happy to read your mix is going well to. Anxious to know if your cycle length will be normal.
I'm not too worried about lignans inhibiting aromatase. I linked a publication here

It says the lignans bind to aromatase, but the strength of the chemical bond is weak. Testosterone binds much stronger to aromatase. I expect that a lignan sitting on aromatase will politely stand up and offer its seat to the first testosterone that comes along. Then the aromatase makes estrogens from the testosterone. It may take a little longer than if there were no lignans, but the end result is the same.
There are three estrogens: estradiol, estriol, and estrone. Estradiol is the strongest. There is also more estradiol than estriol or estrone.
