Yes, your breasts may get bigger because of the estrogen in the pill. This may also cause some swelling as far as in relation to tenderness too. To deal with this issue I ended up having to get a bigger bra to help me deal with it.
As for acne, it's possible but many do not because the pill is often used to try and help control acne.
In relation to the weight gain yes, you might but that is mostly water which is a result of the hormones in the pill. The average weight gain is about 5-10 lbs.
I have had some issues with weight gain to start off with until I settled in to it, but the one that stayed with me was the tenderness and I still feel some pain when I get examined there but the larger bra helped me to not feel pain and tenderness every day while being on the pill. As for how much bigger mine got I only went up one bra size and that helped a lot.
Well i have been on the pill for about 2 years, i dont really put on weight only before my period but thats normal and only a bit, i dont really get spots at all again only when my period is due i may get one or two, i wish my boobs go bigger but again they didnt only when i am due on, my side effects have been minimal.
I have no health problems though.
