anyone use the birth control SHOT?
im on the pill right now and since i started it a few months ago ive been breaking out like crazy!! also, i keep forgetting to take it or im in a position where i cannot take it at the time that i need to... i feel like the shot would be a better option for me, but i would really like to hear some first-hand experiences and opinions on it.
or if u have another form of bc that u would like to recommend please do, but tell me why

I wouldn't recommend the shot. the shot is associated with lowering your bone density, and women already have a problem sustaining strong bones as it is. it's not really recommended for young women/girls, and it is never recommended for anybody for long term use because it is unhealthy for your bones. if your birth control is making you break out, talk to your doctor about switching to another and learn to take your pill when you're supposed to. take it every morning when you wake up...problem solved. if you take it later on in the day, that's when you find yourself in positions where you can't take it. if you take it as soon as you wake up..you're good.

There is many different brands of 'the pill'
if your breaking out go see your doctor and they will put you on a different one.
