I might be starting birth control/hormonal therapy soon, and I have some questions?

Question

What are the effects birth control will have on my body? I'm going to start taking it to lighten my period, but I've heard that it helps clear up skin and could even increase your breast size. Is that true? Any help is appreciated. thanks.

Answer 1

It really depends...different people can react to the same birth control in different ways. Common side effects are clearing up acne, weight gain, decreased s*x drive, normalized periods, lighter periods. I have never heard about the breast size increase but it can happen.
