OT: The Pill

I have been considering going on the pill. When I was a teen the Dr put me on it to straighten out my cycle. When it worked itself out I stopped taking it. Now I'm considering it for actual birth control but in my 'older age' I am afraid of taking hormones that inhibit a natural process and that could cause possible weight gain.

Also, I have read that in heavier women the pill may not be as effective, but they dont say how much weight effects it.
I am about 50lbs overweight...

Am I over reacting? Is it a harmless drug? Have any of you heard or experienced horror stories?

Thanks in advance!
