A member asked:

I have been on the birth control microgestin fe 1.5/30 for about a month now, is it possible that it's the reason my blood pressure raised to 152/76?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes!: It sure can. I have seen this many a time. Take a month off from it (with alternative protection) and recheck your blood pressure!
