I have taken it for years until recently and I have not had any. Each person is different. Each Contraceptive Pill is different with different doses. I had the lowest dose. There is always chances of side effects. If you mean long term, My doctors all have said they can cause migraines which I have off and on. They can cause a stroke too. They all have urged me to get off of them. I am almost 40. I took them to be regular. I do not like the effects of when I am not on it, but if all my doctors told me I should get off, I better listen.
Here is something from the following website for you. http://www.answers.com/topic/oral-contraceptive?cat=health
Birth control pills may cause good or bad side effects. For example, a woman's menstrual periods are regular and usually lighter when she is taking oral contraceptives, and the pills may reduce the risk of ovarian cysts, breast lumps, pelvic inflammatory disease, and other medical problems. However, taking birth control pills increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and blood clots in certain women. Serious side effects such as these are more likely in women over 35 years of age who smoke cigarettes and in those with specific health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or a history of breast or uterine cancer. A woman who wants to use oral contraceptives should ask her physician for the latest information on the risks and benefits of all types of birth control and should consider her age, health, and medical history when deciding what to use.

You are on a dangerous medication and you are not reading the side effects? Whats wrong with you? The pill has many avantages but the side effects out weigh this in my book. Thier are blood clots, strokes, seizures, heart attacks, I can go on and on and I shouldnt have to cause this is your health and life, you are the only one who can take care of you! So get to reading! Read up on the pill and its side effects and you will see the dangers. Also before taking any medications always read what the side effects are, do you think you are different then the rest of the population? Bad things wont happen to you? Well this is what the young girl in California who was on birth control thought to, till she had her first stroke.

You will be more susceptible to ovarian cysts & thrombosis. For sure there would be more side affects, but these are the two that your doctor would possibly mention to you.
