Hi docs, would the contraceptive pill lower your estrogen levels on a blood test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Your estrogen levels normal vary significantly during a menstrual cycle. The birth control pill suppresses this variation and would appear lower, in general, than when you are not on birth control pills.
