Birth control: Well, if you missed/skipped your June shot, you are now fertile so make sure you use some form of contraception (preferably two) when engaging in sex to minimize risk for pregnancy (assuming you're not currently ready) & sexually transmitted diseases. Consider oral contraceptives w/less risk of bone issues w/long term use, unlike Depo-Provera. Check out birth control options @ http://goo.gl/aPfzt5
