I wonder if birth control (which spikes estrogen) has a lasting impact on levels after a mom goes off to have a child.

  I'm wondering that as well, could be an unintended side effect of some forms of hormonal birth control.

    There is some precedent for the opposite in biological males one hazard of androgen doping is a drop off in natural production. While a similar feedback mechanism may exist there is no guarantee. I am uncertain what influence multiple pregnancies has on estrogen levels - let alone how comparable birth control is but that could offer a hint.

  What forms of birth control spike estrogen? My understanding was that it worked by suppressing the natural estrogen spike that triggers ovulation.

    "spiking estrogen" is how birth control, birth controls.
