Not at all: If a woman suddenly notices facial hair growth, under any circumstances, it is abnormal. Please discuss with your doctor.

You heard right!: Yes, it can happen, with certain bc pills with high hormone contents. Your gynecologist can change you to a lower-level pill. But there are lots of other causes of facial hair growth; don't assume it's the pill without letting your doctor rule out other causes.
