i don't think so. I've been taking flaxseed, about 1-2 Tbs a day, for a long time. Granted, I have taken some time off of the old omega-3s, but there was a period when I did take it for a long time every day cosecutively. I have had a mild gyn since age 10, and have not noticed any changes or problems. When I consider the amazing health benefits of flaxseed and omega-3s, such as cancer fightin, mood-balancing, digestive enhancing, etc. I'd say that omega-3s are the bomb! Make sure to eat less omega-6s (corn, soy, meat oils) if you can, and get the flax oil with lignans in it, they are really good for you too.
