Some Forms of Birth Control
Depo ProveraThere are several ways to prevent pregnancy and the birth control shot is one option. Depo Provera, also known as The Birth Control Shot, is a method of prescription birth control and is available through injection. This method of birth control protects against pregnancy up to 14 weeks by preventing ovulation. Prevention against ovulation means that there is no egg available for sperm. There are two different types of birth control shots, but both basically work the same way and provide the same protection with the few differences.
The original formula Depo Provera Shot must be injected into a muscle, either the buttocks or the upper arm. This shot must be used four times a year, every 11 to 13 weeks, to maintain the high effectiveness rate of this birth control method. You will be protected immediately after obtaining the shot. … read more at Depo Provera

 The Ortho Evra Contraceptive PatchThere are several ways to prevent pregnancy and the Contraceptive Patch is one option. The Patch is a prescription birth control that is used weekly and sticks to a woman’s body. The Contraceptive Patch is square-shaped and measures 4 cm x 4 cm. It’s smooth, thin and plastic. Users stick a new patch to the skin once a week for three consecutive weeks every month on the same day each week. You do not have to use a patch in the fourth week.
