Re: Flax Seed Oil
I've actually heard the opposite... that you should avoid flax seed oil, and instead take a DHA supplement if you are TTC or could be pregnant.... it has been reported to alter estrogen levels 
While TTC'ing, I started taking a DHA supplement (expecta).... it's not only safe for pregnancy, but also is good for the developing nervous system, if you do get your BFP.
hope this helps

Re: Flax Seed Oil
Flax Seed Oil is basically the vegetarian version of Omega 3 Fatty Acids. I bought a bottle of supplements to take, as I am a vegetarian, and I found it to upset my stomach. I was worried because my stomach is sensitive to ground flax seed, etc., and was not surprised to find that the supplements did the same thing to me.
