It's best to consult your LLMD about this, as the hormones in the pill can affect lyme. I'd not toss out the idea as there may be some precautions to consider that would make it safer.

Although you said you are off abx, for others reading this, it's also vital to know that some antibiotics can make birth control pills ineffective.

I've searched a bit to find the reference that I know I had seen, but I can't find it. I hope you find your answer soon.
