How fast will thin girls lose bone density by taking the birth control shot?
Depo Provera and other birth control injections are shown to reduce bone density over the long term, and after 2 years, it’s recommended that you get a bone density test to ensure you’ll be okay. It’s not possible to say what the ‘rate of loss’ is, but after 2 years, it will be noticeable if it occurs.
