Recently found out i have a liver infection. possibility of it being related to my birth control. should i stop taking my birth control?

Liver infection: A liver infection wouldn't be related to your birth control, but if your liver functions are abnormal it is a contraindication to start oral birth control. Since you will likely need an alternate form of birth control I would call your physician monday and clarify what is going on with your liver.
