Diet and Hormones

Hello,
Have faced some new realizations lately after talking with my doctor and naturopath it seems that I have so much access estrogen in my system that I have developed a fibroid the size of a 3 month pregnancy... We are now trying to concieve a baby so I wanted to know if my diet could somehow effect the hormone levels and it turns out that it may. The doctor has put me on a pescatarian/vegan diet meaning I only eat fish and vegetables with whole grains. Its going to be a big adjustment but I am sure it will be ok. Another issue is that because of the location and size I cannot do any intense workouts that involve me jumping or bouncing in any way if I want to conceive.... I am really worried about putting on weight...............
