<s>[INST] Hi During my first pdelivery 3 years back I was diagonised with cholestesis (heavy itching in the 9th month) and hence had an C section..I remember my doc saying then that I need to take care when I take any birth control tablet. I would like to take an ipill today as I do not want to be pregnant..Is it safe for me to take it ? I am 31 years old 5 feet 2 inches and weighing around 65 kgs [/INST] HiCholestasis effect is due to the hormone estrogen. That is why your doctor rightly advised against using birth control tablets. When she said this she was talking with reference to birth control pills containing both estrogen and progesterone.The I PILL contains progesterone only. So you can use I PILL without worrying about cholestasis. Moreover the progesterone is washed off from your body in few days.If you wish to postpone pregnancy I advise you to discuss with your doctor and use regular contraception.I hope I have answered to your satisfaction. </s>
