Birth control pills can affect cholesterol levels and its effect depends on the type of pill you're taking and what concentration of estrogen or progestin it contains.

The estrogen in birth control pills causes an increase in HDL cholesterol levels (the "good" cholesterol), a decrease in LDL cholesterol levels (the "bad" cholesterol) and an increase in your total cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Progestin in birth control pills has the opposite effect.
Birth control pills with a greater concentration of estrogen can have a slightly beneficial overall effect on your blood lipid levels.
