The birth control shot is an injection. It is a long-acting form of progesterone, a hormone to naturally manufacture in a girl's ovaries. The shot is given as an injection in the upper arm or in the buttocks once every 3 months to guard a girl from becoming pregnant. The hormone progesterone in the birth control injection primarily works by preventing ovulation. If a girl does not ovulate, she cannot get pregnant since there is no egg to be fertilized. The birth control injection is a very effective method of birth control. The possibility increases if it not given after 3 months. In common, how well each type of birth control technique works depends on a lot of things. These include whether a person has any physical condition or is taking any medications that might interfere with its use. It also depends on whether the process chosen is convenient and whether the person remembers to use it properly all of the time.

Protection:

The birth control injection does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. Many young women who receive the birth control injection will notice a change in their periods. Other probable side effects include:

1. irregular or no menstrual periods
2. weight gain, headaches, and breast tenderness
3. depression

Girls who smoke must be sure to let their doctors know because smoking may be linked to this bone density loss. Smoking also increases a girl's probability of the other side effects of the injections.

Recommendation:

Every method of birth control must be measured in light of what works for the individual. Young women who have a rigid time remembering to take birth control pills and who want extremely good defense against pregnancy use the birth control injection. Also, nursing mothers can use the birth control injection. Not all women can or should use the birth control injection. In some cases, medical or other conditions make the use of the injection less effective or more risky. It is not recommended for women who have had blood clots, certain types of cancers or certain types of migraine headaches. Girls who have had unexplained vaginal bleeding or who suspect they may be pregnant should talk to their doctors. The injection must be prescribed and is given every 3 months in a doctor's office.
