Acne And Facial Growth,weight Gain,hormonal Disorder

hi, i am 21yrs old and i had acne . i took medicines which are meant for general acne treatment but they failed to cure . Then certain tests were done and there were some hormonal disorders due which acne plus facial hair growth were prominent. The doctor prescribed me the medicine mypill i have been taking this since march 2011 and having it still . The problem now i am facing is increase in weight although on an avg i have 2 meals a day and normal home made food, i used to do a lot of physical activities bt i had to put an end to them because i started having crumps in lower legs and they were painful enough that it used to hurt when i walked. I consulted a doctor she told us to get throid free tests ad th3 was out of normal range. for increase in weight she prescribed me ovanac plus . I just want to ask is whether i should take this medicine and if i do are there any side effects of this medicine and for how long should i continue with mypill medicine.
