A member asked:

What's the expert opinion, could the pill make me fat or make my boobs bigger or get rid of/make worse acne?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

All possible: This is all possible. Some women report weight gain, acne and/or larger breasts on oral contraceptives whereas other women will report less or none of these effects. Certain oral contraceptives have the effect of minimizing or make claims about treating acne.
