the Shot

I heard that if you get b/c in the form of
a shot you don't get your period if thats
true then how do you know if your pregnant
or not even if you still use condoms you
never know.

Usually it takes 6 months to a year until
you stop getting your period. Actually I
was on the shot 4 months before I got
pregnant but I got off of it due to the
side effects. You kno what? I don't kno
how they would kno if they are pregnant or
not. I guess a pregnancy test...

Yeah thats what I was thinking but then
you'd have to keep taking a pregnancy test
every month or so just to be sure.

Well if you take the shot when you are
supposed to...It should be effective
right? Meaning you arent releasing an
egg...So you wouldnt get pregnant, right?
Or am I misunderstanding what you are
asking?

Yeah, thats true. Or, if you kno yo body
and start having symptoms, then you won't
have to take a test that often. I would
think if a person is on b/c and using
condoms, she won't have nothin' to worry
about but there's always that small
percentage.

Your right lauren! If you take the shot
right on time, you shouldn't have to worry
about pregnancy becuz you are not
releasing eggs. But there's some people
that don't get them on time, those are the
ones that have to worry about getting
pregnant especially if its unprotected.

Yeah, but is getting the shot more
effective then the pill? Cause I know
people who have gotten pregnant while on
the pill

Yeah I think the pill is like 99.9 percent
effective. There is always a chance! So
you have to be careful! I'm not really
sure about the shot!

I think the shot is more effective becuz
it works for 3 months straight.
See with the pill, there's always a chance
that you will miss taking one.

Yeah, it does. I was on it 4 months
before I got pregnant. After the first
shot, I never went back and got another
because I started getting serious side
effects from the shot.

I'm on the shot right now and it is
soooooo wonderful! I never have to worry
about periods or getting preggers.. I
will know if I am pregnant becuase it's
not everyday my boobs hurt and I start
puking for no apparent reason. I doubt I
can get preggy anyway. The only thing I
don't like is the logistics of getting the
shot,, all the paperwork, the exams, it
can be a real pain in the ass! Lol,
however i'm sure pregnancy is a lot more
of a pain.. Everywhere so it's worth it!
If you ever get it, get it in your bum!
It hurt my arm sooo bad last time!
Definitily the bum is where you should get
it but try to alternate every once in a
while.

My friend has been on the depo shot since
she was 12 or 13. She is now 16.
Anyways, she never gets her period, and I
guess you will know by other pregnancy
symptoms. Eventually, youll know that you
are preggy. Depo seems to be very
good...And I know some people once they
get off of it and ttc they can't
accomplish making a baby for a long long
long time sometimes not even at all. In
some rare cases, I had another friend
jennifer who has 4 girls, and she got
pregnant with 2 of them on depo. Not too
sure what to tell you, just depends on
your body !

I depends, all women are different. Some
get a normal period, some get it all the
time, and some don't get it at all.

I haven't heard from too many people who
like it. I guess you're lucky brandy!
Yeah I have heard it wreaks havoc on your
body.
