some pros are:
* Pregnancy prevention
* Lighter period (depending on which brand you use)
* It may regulate your period
* weight gain ( if you need to gain weight like i did)
*Less chance of getting ovarian cancer
some cons are:
* Nausea
*Headaches
* Using Depoprovera it may take a while to regain fertility
* Weight gain ( if you dont need to gain weight)
alot of the side effects depend on which brand you choose. But if you go to a clinic or doctor they will give you the one thats best for you.

I think the pros to birth control are stated just about everywhere, they prevent pregnancy and clear up your skin all while regulating your cycles and lessening the intensity of your cramps.
What I want to caution you against is letting anyone know that you are taking the pill if you start.
In guy language it means they shouldn't have to wear condoms because they can't get you pregnant!
Since the pill does nothing to protect you against STDs and condoms do lie and say you're not on the pill so guys won't try to not wear a condom. Protect yourself!
