Spider veins have: many different causes. Even normal estrogen levels can play a role, so elevated estrogen levels could be a cause of extensive spider veins. However, if you don't have other other symptoms such as breast enlargement and tenderness, irregular menstrual cycle, and/or weight gain, there is probably another reason. You will need to see your physician to determine a cause and treatment.
