Does hormonal birth control have side effects?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Potentially: Possible side effects from birth control pills can include breakthrough bleeding, nausea, vomiting, mood swings, headaches, dizziness, decreased sex drive, breast tenderness, acne, headaches & bloating. The issue of weight gain seems to be controversial.

Agree with Dr. F: You may wish to consider IUD for contraception. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
