On Losetrin FE, Suffering With Hives That Worsen During Night. Could It Be Due To Pills?

I am experiencing terrible hives . They are especially bad at night and in the morning. At first, we thought it was from Molixicam that I had just been put on, but I stopped taking that over a week ago and have had a round of steroids and the hives are still coming each night. Could it be the Loestrin Fe that I just started taking this month? I am 27 pills into my first 28 pack? Thank you.
