Do Oral Contraceptives Lead to Allergies?
A new study indicates that a mother's previous use of oral contraceptives may contribute to her baby's risk of developing allergies.
The study found that children whose mothers used oral contraceptives within one year of becoming pregnant were 67% more likely to have nasal allergies than the children whose mothers did not use oral contraceptives. The association was common in families where the parents had allergies and was strongest among boys, the study found.

The authors of the study say the results are still preliminary, and needs further study, but if you or your partner have allergies, perhaps it would be better to consider some other method of contraception.
