Some of the side of BC pills:
irregular bleeding during the first few months, nausea, bloating, fluid retention, an increase in blood pressure, breast tenderness, & migraine headaches. Other symptoms might include 3-5 lbs. weight gain, acne mood disorder & nervousness. Some women have headache & difficulty sleeping. Taking oral contraceptive increases the risk of blood clots in the veins. Make sure your girlfriend doesn't smoke. BC pills taken for more than 5 years can increase uterine cancer as well as gallstones.

well, how about you? how long have you been on Apri? have you noticed anything different?
with many oral contraceptives, women tend to notice things like a small amount of weight gain, or breasts may swell up some. some people notice changes in their mood swings/pms symptoms. many people experience lighter or shorter periods, and clearer skin...
your question is very broad, so it's hard to know exactly what answers you are looking for.
