I hope u are not planning to use OCs for non-contraceptive benefits only! Anyway since u ask i can let u know a couple of things my gynae told me..one was less blood loss in periods which indeed happened for me. less period pain, but i never had them anyway. protection agaimnst a couple of cancers, dont exactly remember which ones...lessening of premenstrual tension, which dint really hapeen in my case. Hope this helps!
