I wouldn't worry Scarlet. If there was any negative connection between PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, and dairy products, the website "Not Milk" would have dug it out. But I could see nothing about it on the site. I think you're right to be wary of pro-vegetarian, pro-vegan, pro-soya sites like "Not Milk". They have an appearance of being scientific, but they bend the science to suit their agenda. Any true scientist would be horrified by that site.
I'm not a medical person but I think minerals like magnesium can be lost for many reasons, including insulin resistance (from high-carb eating!) which prevents the magnesium being stored, and phytates from whole grains and legumes (including soya) or anything that damages the gut lining.
