Answer 2

Medical bc cost money and interferes with your hormones and all women react different to the different types of bc. Some get depressed etc.

But on the other hand, the natural family planning doesn't really work except for some older couples who have their ovulation days on a chart. An orgasm can make you ovulate again and only 12% of women ovulate on the same day every month.

Answer 3

The DP shot will likely cause side effects similar to any other hormonal BC. Nausea, breast tenderness, weight gain.

Taking the DP shot is considered long term birth control, it can take 12 to 18 months to regain fertility once you stop taking the injection.
