Dr. Berga:

It depends on what you’re talking about. So, in reproductive life the amount of hormones produced in a normal menstrual cycle is roughly the same from woman to woman. If a woman doesn’t have menstrual cycles she may actually have lower hormone levels or higher hormone levels than someone else.

So, people who routinely don’t have menstrual cycles because they have a hormone condition don’t have the same hormone levels as everybody else, but an ovulatory cycle when in which you can get pregnant, that is pretty standard.
