What are some side-effects of birth control/hormonal therapy?

Question

Does it really help clear up your skin or increase your breast size?

Answer 1

I know a while back I had a friend that started a birth control pill regiment and she said it made her very moody for a few weeks.  Other than that the only physical symptom i've heard of is raising blood pressure but I'm not sure how true that is.

Answer 2

Blood Clots

Mood Swings

Weight Gain

Those are the major ones

Answer 3

Blood clots, mood swings, weight gain, stomach ache (like morning sickness but no puking, for the first month or so).

Nothing too major, as long as you don't smoke. I had a friend who was allergic to an ingredient in birth control and got hives and felt very sick. But normally it all works out. The 'morning sickness' sucks, but goes away after the first few months if you are on the right pill for you.

As far as good side effects, you get clearer skin, lighter periods, weight gain in the chest, less pms symptoms.

Answer 4

Side effects are too many. Blood clots, infertility, even cancer. Is another alternatives to birth control like the natural method which is coounting the 3 days in your period, 7 days after and 7 days before you can have all the s*x that you want. With out having the risk to become pregnant the other one is that the man finish outside. Good luck with any decision that you make
