St. John's wort is an inducer of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A enzymes and may reduce the efficacy of oral contraceptives.

Hmm interesting. I'm not on any hormonal BC at the moment so I wonder what the effects would be on estrogen in the body. Says no effect on progesterone but if it were to decrease estrogen (including from my cream) that could maybe be why I've seen some growth - I had too much estrogen in my body before and maybe I needed the decrease caused by sjw and other things I was doing to get some balance and thus caused some growth
Thanks for that Lotus something I didn't know about sjw!
found this also - elaborates a little more on what you posted but not sure if it's the most credible source there is

also says ketoconazole increases plasma concentrationsn of estrogen when taken with bcp which is alarming since I was on keto twice before (for two months each time) and my doc knew I was taking bcp too. I read that there was an interaction between the two when I was taking it but didn't know why and I'm surprised my dr still let me take them together.
