Varicose Veins!? From high estrogen?

I have been doing NBE for almost a year now. But for the past few months I have been taking Bovine Ovary and have just recently noticed a large network of gross spider veins AND the beginnings of varicose veins all over my legs :(
Has anyone noticed the same thing after starting a routine that involves raising estrogen levels?
I read online that some high estrogen birth control pills may increase the risk of getting them.
I'm on my feet all day at work, and I exercise about four times a week lifting weights, I'm petite and fairly slender.

Anyone know of successful treatments for visible veins?
Should I stop taking the B.O. for a while or has the damage already been done?

You can get a procedure which is a foam injection that is injected into the veins, you then wear the special stocking for about 10 days, it takes about half an hour and shrinks the vein, then you can walk out from the clinic the same day, I have had it done for the past year as my veins were bad, my legs look so good now. it costs about £150 a session and that can be expensive depending on the amount of treatment you need.
Not sure about the Estrogen causing them, mine were hereditary.
Good luck.
