Are there any allergies to birth control?

Lo loestrin fe birth control and hives (urticaria) allergies.. HELP!!?

• has anyone ever had hives or urticaria because of bc pills, I started taking them 8 months ago, At first I noticed loss of hair and a lot of itching on my skin and head, two months after taking them I break out in hives from head to toe, I didn't think it was the bc pill because i also have 3 vaccine shots and I was thinking it was the vaccines but after a while I start taking zyrtec,benadryl and it helped me control the itching. I stop taking all this medicine because i read all the bad things about zyrtec, I went online and read that a lot of women get hives (urticaria) because of an allergic reaction to the bc pill or the hormones (lo loestrin fe) so I stop taking them last week, I still have some hives during the day, I don't know if is the food (which i don't think it is) or what else can be?? And if it is because of the birth control, how long does it take for all this hormones to leave my system?? I just want this hives to go away, it is just a nightmare.. I cant imagine keep living like this for the rest of my life.. I have also tried steroids, benadryl, allegra, zyrtec, oxyhives, gluten free diet.
