Baby & Birth Control

Baby, my 14-year-old daughter, is now on birth control.  We went to her doctor the week of her birthday.  The nurse was very helpful in giving us advice on what prescription would be best for her.  We decided on Depro Provera, a shot taken every three months, because as a teenager, she is not very organized, nor focused enough to have to take a pill every day.  In addition, I was concerned someone would be going through her purse, perhaps for a pen, & find her birth control pills, telling her absent father.

So far, she has not had sex.  She says the first time may be on December 8th, when she celebrates her 1st year anniversary with her boyfriend, whom she has not seen since last November.  We believe she maintains this relationship, because she can say someone is her boyfriend, but because she never sees him in person, she does not need to have sex.  She also has a crush on a boy in another state, whom she only communicates with by internet & cell phone.
