New to birth control

Arianna
Hi I'm 18 man and my boyfriend been together for almost 11 months and we started having sex a couple months ago. He was my first ☺️ I recently went to the gynecologist and ask to get out on BC and she gave me some pills I'm nervous to start taking them because I do not want to gain weigh and my older sister was once on BC and produced blood clots in her lungs so I'm a little nervous. Hopefully everything goes well
