OC pill is safe to take or not?
Me & my gf had sex without using contraception yesterday. yes we know about condoms and i know it's a mistake, I'm accepting it. 24 hours has passed and my only concern is should we go with OC pill like Saheli etc. or not because we are not sure if we really need a pill or not. I'm really concerned about her and afraid of side effects.

OC pills are synthetic hormones and they do have side effects especially over long term.
Next Steps
in short term they may cause minor side effects like nausea etc but even scarier than the “mild” side effects are the serious health risks that accompany birth control pills. These include:
Increased risk of cervical and breast cancers
Increased risk of heart attack and stroke
Migraines
Higher blood pressure
Gallbladder disease
Infertility
Benign liver tumors
Decreased bone density
Yeast overgrowth and infection
Increased risk of blood clotting
Cancer, heart disease, stroke, infertility. Surely these side effects make birth control pills a less than desirable option for contraception, and even less desirable for acne.
Health Tips
Good news is that all your problems can be totally reversed , not by masking the symptoms with pills but by addressing the underlying cause of the problem and healing it from the ROOT cause.
