While some drugs do interact with oral contraceptives (birth control pills), caffeine is not one of them!.
Usually it's just antibiotics that can interfere with birth control, but even that isn't as common as it used to be!. Some herbal suppliments (like St Johns Wort) can also reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills!.
Two or three cups of coffee has safe levels of caffeine!. Unless you choose to become pregnant, you have no need to worry about your caffeine intake, and even then, a cup a day is alright!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Caffeine doesn't interact with birth control!. If it did, there would be a lot more pregnancies! It can cause some worse cramps and breast tenderness when you are menstruating!. It can also lead to dehydration if you don't drink enough water, but that is usually when you drink a lot!.
It is safe, especially in the levels you drink it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
