I need a drink
my sister chose the shot. u can only be on it for 2 yrs. it seriously thins out your bones. she didnt gain wt she lost it and she was thin to start. her bones look like that of an 80 yr old in her bone scan. it happens due to lack of periods. she is on the yasmin pill now. the ring can be removed during sex u have to remember to put it back in after. the ring and patch do not go through your liver. these 2 forms start working immediately, unlike the pill which u have to take an entire pack to get the blood levels up to prevent pregnancies. the shot is good for 3 months that will give your girlfriend some time to see if she likes it and she can switch to something else if she prefers. all the forms of hormonal birth control carry risks. the cost and convenience vary also.
It's too late, she already told me that she already received her first injection. I told her i hope for the best but like you and others stated and i dont think she realizes the severity of the matter that if her body has bad effects from it, then she's stuck with that for the next 3 months, and lord knows i dont need that headache; that's why i though we had both agreed on the pill. Plus now she has to start taking calcium supplements to prevent the bone problem that may occur as a result of the shot.
Just keep an eye on her then. Don't take it TOO personal if she's starts getting moody or snappy. Those hormones are no joke. Hopefully she does fine with it.
my ex was on the injections and she didnt gain any weight...plus she didnt have to worry about remembering the pill. I dunno why you are gettin so worked up about it. I am sure she discussed the options with her DOCTOR and came to the best conclusion for her. No offense but I dont think you have any say on the way in which she chooses birth control. Hell be happy she is on it at all.
