Trauma answered Wednesday January 16 2013, 7:50 pm: Birth control pills can be up to 99.9% effective when taken correctly. It is important to take them at the same time every day in order to get the best results from them. They don't protect from STDS, though, so you should definitely take that into consideration when having sex. There are potential side effects, such as weight gain, sore breasts, and nausea, but you should look up the side effects of the type of pill you're on, just to be sure. It is very very rare that they cause serious side effects, and it's usually a case of allergic reaction. Just monitor any signs closely and talk to your doctor if anything feels off.
