Maybe you have a high metabolism, sometimes testing hormone levels help identify what's deficient. I see you listed a past surgery, was that for a removal of a uterine fibroid?.
I do the hormone test and there is not any problem. My surgery is actually a removal of small lump in chest. That was two years ago. It is called “fibroma” (I just google translate it ) due to the irregular schedule and easy to get angry,but now I am getting much better.
Ok, so it was benign (non-cancerous) right?. Taking PM could prove risky regardless, there's something in PM called genistein that can cause cancer. The info below will be complicated, but it shows what I'm talking about.

Also note that increased consumption of soy products reduces plasma concentrations of estradiol.
Genistein: does it prevent or promote breast cancer?

From pg. 702 Possible Anti-Estrogenic Effects of Genistein
Genistein has significant estrogenic properties in both in vitro and in vivomodels (Table1). Genistein binds to the estrogen receptor(ER), although its binding affinity is several-fold weaker than that of estradiol(30). Genistein can also activate a number of estrogen-responsive genes in vitro, including pS2 and c-fos (18,31). Furthermore, when administered at low doses, genistein stimulates the growth of ER-positive(ER+) breast cancer cells (18-20). Findings in other tissue systems support the estrogenicity of genistein. For example, genistein is uterotrophic in a variety of species, resulting in impaired reproductive activity and increases inuterine wet weights.

In particular, soya contains the isoflavone genistein, a compound with many properties which could influence both endocrine and growth factor signalling pathways.
