My wife was on "The Pill" for quite a few years, way back when. There were no ill effects for her, and it kept her period short and regular. She took the pill for 21 days and the placebo for 7 days in each cycle, taking the placebo keeps you on the schedule of taking the pill everyday, and it should be made into a routine like with any other medication. It took a couple of months after she stopped taking the pill before she got pregnant.

I like it. No problems. Makes the whole world a happier place
Made my boobs a little bigger
and I didn't get fatter
makes periods shorter
and it makes it easier to skip one if you're on the pill
all the girls who have the ring I know like it
the only one I know that made people fat was getting the shot, my friend did it and she gained weight but she didnt have her period for like 2 years
and doctors check for the symptoms of mood swings, weight gain, etc to make sure you're on the right one

The pill sucks for a lot of women. She could skip her period for months, have heavy bleeding, NOT get her period on time, hella moodswings..... 
Edit: But to answer your question, if she's ok with it, and is open about how it affects her body with her doctor, then go for it.

Many options, some girls get horrible side effects, some don't.
I'm fairly versed on contraception, shoot

All docs will give you different opinions, especially on birth control.
I don't recommend the patch.
If you girlfriend is forgetful, she could try the nuvaring.
If she can remember to take it everyday at the same time, go with a minipill, I would recommend Ortho Tricyclin Lo.
If she's open to an IUD, look into that.

I use Trinessa which is generic for Ortho Tri Cyclean
I get it free with my insurance so major plus there.
My friend's mom had breast cancer so she was also concerned with the pill increasing her chance of getting cancer as well so my friend switched to the nuva ring which she enjoys.
I did a lot of research into what to take and then it just made my head hurt. I would go to the doctor with your concerns about taking birth control and they are really good about it. They talked to me over a half hour about when I asked so they are quite knowledgeable on all the different methods. I am sure you'll find out more than you want to
