Relationship?: It will be important to determine if there is a causal relationship between the BC and hives. It is common to experience hives for a variety of reasons (see comment). However, it is possible to become sensitized to the medication or excipient (chemical additive to the pill formulation that is not medicine). You may gain insight after discussing in more detail with somebody w/ allergy expertise

Progesterone: Progesterone allergy is often implicated. Consult an allergist to find out whether you are indeed allergic to progesterone then work with your allergist to find out if other formulations may be options or not.
