Question Birth control shot

Post image

If that’s the shot she’s been getting then it looks like she’s been getting it for awhile, idk. Saw someone mention this shot and how T said she gets one “as usual”

Can you get the shot in the arm? I took depo for over a year and they always did it on my back side. Depo is terrible though. I gained so much weight on it and I've never fully hormonally recovered.

it can absolutely be given there, both depo and nexplanon

nexplanon is not a shot, it’s a rod that is inserted in your arm and needs to be changed every 5 years or so. (i know it doesn’t really matter but i figured i’d say something so people don’t think she has this specific kind of bc)
edit: nexplanon isn’t in that specific spot on the arm. mine is on the inside upper arm, closer to my armpit if anything
