What Are The Side Effects Of Having Oral Contraceptive Pills?

Dear Doctor Jain,
I am a 25 year old woman, and am getting married in two months. I wanted to understand about Oral Contraceptives. What are the side effects of the pill? Does it cause weight gain because of the high level of estrogen content in it? What are the long term effects of the pill? Would I be able to conceive after I stop taking the pill? Does the pill have any effects on fertility in the long run? Kindly advice.
