What are the side effects of birth control pills?

I am a 26 year old female who is just starting birth control pills after switching from the patch. What are the side effects of birth control pills?

There are generally no differences between the side effects of the patch versus birth control pills. The hormones are about the same. So if you did well on the patch you should do equally well on the pill other than the effect of the adhesive on the patch.
