I recently had my liver enzymes go through the roof. My doc said BCPs is often the culprit. So he took me off them, but when they retested my blood, they were still off. It is definitely worthwhile to go off your BCP and have your blood tested after a month. I know that doesn't sound like something you want to do. I was stressed about going off my BCP. But when it comes to the liver, you can't mess around. It's best to know if this is why your levels are messed up. When I did research on liver enzymes, it said that alcohol (duh!), tylenol, advil (yes, both kinds of pain meds!), obesity, and BCPs can all mess up liver enzyme levels. Definitely get this checked out thoroughly! Also, just because you have no signs of hepatitus doesn't mean it's not there. That is something you should have checked out too. All these things can be checked out with a couple vials of your blood.
