Ok, most of you know me as the Lil Girl from the sex forum but now I'm here looking for some big kids to help me out a bit.
My doctor just told me that due to somethings that happened with my mother and my grandmother I can't take the pill any longer, otherwise it's potentially dangerous to my body. I can though, do the shot.
Now, I'm not afraid of needles or anything, don't get me wrong, but I'm not quite sure if I should or not. I don't know how the shot works or how long it lasts or how effective it is.
I don't even know how you know if it's working. Could somebody help me out here eh? It would be really appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

that might help?
Has anybody been on the shot? What was your experience with it?
You don't need different usernames for each forum!
You might find talking to someone at Brook or the fpa useful:
Brook Advisory Centres
Advice, counselling and medical help around contraception, pregnancy, abortion and sexual health.
Web: www.brook.org.uk
Tel: 0800 018 5023
Family Planning Association
Information service on family planning and all aspects of sexual health.
Web: www.fpa.org.uk
Tel: 0845 310 1334
I'd do your research and read up on the pro's and con's and make an INFORMED decisions, too many people just blindly do whatever the doctor tells them which isnt necessarily the right thing for them!
