Q: what is the name of the single hormone shot and the name of the implant in terms of birth control for a 16 year old?

: Birth control for a 16 yo female as asked, is Depo-progesterone for the "single shot", which is repeated in three months. The implant is also a progestin, and is part of the commercial Nexplanon implant. Both options are approximately. 97% protective against pregnancy.
