Birth Control side effects?

I am considering taking birth control. I was wondering what are some of the physical side effects of birth control? For example, does it cause weight gain or loss? Does it cause mood swings? Pimples? Any information would be really helpful. If it helps I'm considering the Nuvo Ring.

1. Let's see...it can shorten your period, it can cure acne, it might make your breasts a bit bigger, maybe a slight weight gain, maybe a slight weight loss... The pill pack comes with a list of side effects, I think. So just get one and read it from there.
2. I take the Orthotrycyclen pill it helps with acne and all helps with cramping and how heavy the flow is. But whatever you do dont get the deposhot I have had so many friends that gained a crap load of wait when takeing the shot.
3. Personally, I loved the side effects I had from the pill - shorter periods, lighter flow, cramps that were practically nothing, larger breasts. But that was for me, and everyone's different. One potentially bad side effect - reduced sex drive (they never tell you about that one but it is possible).
4. I was on ortho tricyclen, and it really cleared my skin up a lot, it definitly did not make me break out. it made my periods shorter and better, and i did not gain any weight. You just have to remember to take it everyday.
