While many women may not think twice over it, other women purposely choose not to use hormonal contraceptives. Why? Because of how these birth control methods may prevent pregnancy.
The Issue
Most hormonal methods of birth control are designed to work by suppressing ovulation. However, in a small percentage of cases, ovulation may still take place; for some women, this may occur every single cycle. As a result, these contraceptives prevent pregnancy through a different method.
In addition to suppressing ovulation, hormonal birth control may also change the lining of your uterus so that implantation of a fertilized egg cannot take place. The embryois then expelled from the body with the next period. It is the possibility that this method of contraception may function in this manner that is causing controversy and making some women avoid hormonal birth control altogether.

I got off mine in June and had no side effects. Just maybe more cramping at that time of the month but other than that you should see no difference...

Irregular periods, i.e. skipping them, lasting to long.
Cramping may come back (if you've had bad ones before bc)
Trouble concieving for a while.
Some nausea or dizziness because of the change in hormone levels.
Other than that, nothing really.
