[QUOTE="ksm, post: 669364, member: 12511"] daughter saw her family doctor who gave her the first depo shot. Had a period for one month, headaches, 10# wt gain, and horrible mood swings. She did a vaginal swab culture... Also has gardnerella bacterial vaginosis. Ugghhh. Most common way to get it is with multiple partners. Not always, but common. Has been treated for chlamydia at the beginning of year, and this type bacterial infection twice. I had wanted her to have the chance to get a non hormonal IUD, but a physician friend said that with a hx of infections, she is more likely to get pelvic inflammatory disease. You need to be monagamous for an IUD... Or at least be extremely safe when having sex. I don't know if the implantable device in the arm would be an option... We see an OB/GYN that I trust next week. I want to have some type of long term BC in place before she turns 18 in March. I even offered to buy condoms to keep at home in the bathroom, but I would like to put a sticky note on them and say "do you really think that you want to be with a guy who doesn't have the initiative and financial ability to provide his own condoms????" I guess I never thought she would be so impulsive and rush into things so fast... Very disappointed. Plus all the rages we have to deal with. She got a tardy yesterday and has an unexcused absence for the last hour... Today is teachers conferences, so I guess I will hear the rest of the story... KSM [/QUOTE]
