Hi Reena,
As you rightly mentioned, Oral Contraceptive Pills (OCP) do have side effects. It can be used for short period of time, such as, if your husband is working abroad and is due to visit you, so that once he goes back, you may discontinue. Continuous use of OCP over a long period of time is not advisable, in such cases intrauterine contraceptive devises are better.
