Can anyone kindly tell me how extended bf impacts hormones such as LH, eostrogen, progesterone, FSH, prolactin etc? Compared to average blood levels?

I'm talking extended bf a toddler 2 to 4 times a day, probably with not huge milk transfer at this stage. Not full on 20 times a day exclusive feeding a newborn stuff.

If I have a blood test to check levels of these hormones I'd like to be informed as to how I might look different from your average non-bf woman my age. If at all.

Google is not my friend on this for some reason.

Thanks
