Depo shot

Depo-provera has a low failure rate, but like any method of birth control, it's not zero. There's always some possibility of failure. If you really want to be safe, it's not a bad idea to use a condom in addition.Also, Depo has the side effect in some women of demineralizing the bones, which weaken them. It may be even more of an issue for adolescents and young women, whose bones are still forming.(By the way, "knocked up" is a pretty crude phrase for "pregnant".)
