Well, if you intend to use your own natural production of estrogen in combination with WP and PSO we can't be sure of the outcome unless you test before and after. Chances are that tests are not always possible, key indicators you can monitor is mood, body and facial hair growth for androgens, and your emotions (empathy, shedding a tear or two) for estrogen levels (there are other signs too).
WP and PSO aren't specific enough of "how much phytoestrogens are in them". Both have more in common in having anti-androgens protection, (e.g. beta-sisterol, amongst others).
Maca also has beta-sisterol too, so you might end up with a balance leaning towards estrogens because of those three, which could work. I'll give you an example of a similar situation, (using myself). I cut back on using anti-androgens because I wanted to use them in converting T to E by using such products like WP and PSO.
Pumpkin seed oil is rich in natural phytoestrogens and studies suggest it may lead to a significant increase in good “HDL” cholesterol along with decreases in blood pressure, hot flashes, headaches, joint pains and other menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women.
