Stephanie, 23, the shot
It’s not constantly on my mind and I think that’s a great feeling.
Stephanie is busy. She’s in the process of becoming a personal trainer and would sometimes forget to take the pill. Feeling frustrated by her daily birth control method, she decided to try the shot (which you only need to get four times a year).
It definitely simplified things for her. Now she only needs to see her provider every three months to get another shot.
