You're very welcome, Melissa,
The book: I'm sleeping on it. The more people it will help, the higher the risks would be for me, since I'm not a medical professional. So I don't know what format to write in, and it would take a lot more research to get it right: I don't know anybody who tried Rosemary for oxytocin, so how am I sure it works?
As for estrogens, you are preparing for a pregnancy, when you can't take anything. So concentrate on road testing your system, to see if it can do everything it will need to do. What comes to my mind first is wild yam. That is not a phyto-estrogen, but it blocks half of the metabolism of estrone. If you manage to get even a few symptoms of estrogen dominance or excess, on wild yam, you know your body can make the estrogens.
But in pregancy, the main estrogen is estriol:

Susan and I are still looking for ways to up estriol selectively. You can also look at it the other way round: use estradiol to build longer milk ducts now, while you still have it. That would be WY, hops, or PM.
But I don't want to talk you out of BO now, you just started. BO sites usually have tons of advice on what to take with it. Isn't there anything on preparing for pregnancy?
