Side Effects of Birth Control
During at least the first three months on birth control pills, you do experience some side effects. I know I did! For starters, I gained about 25 pounds and also had some pretty significant mood changes. That’s to be expected because hormones do affect your mood. But the bigger threat is blood clots and that’s something harder to deal with and their risk doesn’t usually go away after just a few months. That’s one of the main reasons I wouldn’t recommend using them for acne treatments.
