Okay... yes it does clear up your acne, no you do not have to be sexually active to take them, yes there is the possibility of some weight gain (from water retention... usually about 3-4 pounds). I've been taking birth control for about 4 months due to some medical conditions. (it was either take the pill or suffer) The first month is supposed to be the "roughest" month. That's when you have this extra dose of hormones. You experience the bloating, acne spike, breast tenderest, slight moodiness, and sometimes nausea. Luckily I wasn't an unfortunate of the side-effects. The positive side to taking birth control is that over time it clears your acne, (if you're on the cyclic treatment) lightens your menstrual flow, and reduces the intensity of menstrual cramps. (plus your periods are easier to predict) If taking the pill is only for an acne problem, see a dermatologist. (unless you have and the pill is their recommendation) Don't take birth control unless you absolutely have to.
