With PM:
No: Alfalfa, hops, flaxseed, soy.
Yes: Borage, fennel, fenugreek, saw palmetto, wild yam.
Barley and oats are probably ok. Flax oil is ok even though whole seed isn't. Hops or a small amount of soy doesn't hurt too much. Basically you want to avoid large amounts of weak phytoestrogens since they'll compete with PM and aren't as effective. Alfalfa and flax have large amounts of these, soy smaller amounts. Hops contains very little phytoestrogens and they're very strong (but weaker than PM) so it might be similar to taking more PM rather than interfering that much.
