male taking birth control?

So I recently started taking my sisters birth control (i like it ok). And I read that if a guy does he can develop breasts. Can this be reversible? Do they go away once I stop taking them? Any idea how long it will take for me to get them. I've taken one row so far. Im 16 turning 17.

    You would have to take them everyday for several months to see any effect. You might get mild "puffiness" of the breast area. But you won't grow full on boobs. Your testicles and penis will shrink, however. That may be irreversible. Has it occurred to you that your sister might actually need her birth control pills to prevent pregnancy? If you start taking entire packs of her pills she's going to know.
