is it safe to be on the shot and the pill .-.
I'm a sophomore in highschool and a vegetarian and the only one in my family who is. So I don't necessarily eat the way I should. I do eat a lot though. I haven't grown or gained any weight since about 7th grade I've been the same. My doctor said I'm a bit underweight for my height but not too much that's its unhealthy. I do lots of sports and activities but id get light headed easily. So my doctor said my iron levels were low so he gave me prenatal pills in 7th grade I quit them because they were too big and nasty. Also 7,8 and 9th grade I would get really bad menstrual craps so bad id puke from pain. Finally this past beginning of June I got the birth control shot only to stop the pain I was getting. (I'm not sexually active or plan to be) but then my doctor put me on prenatal pills again because of my low iron levels. Since I'm older now I know how to take them. So my question is, is it okay to be taking the pills and stuff while I'm on the shot ? I know it probably is because my doctor is the one who set it up. But id just like some other opinions.

I don't think it would be unsafe for you if your doctor prescribed both. Prenatals are mostly vitamins & minerals. Nothing dangerous or that would cause a problem with birth control or anything else you take for that matter. If you still have doubts or questions though, call your doctors office and talk to the nurse. She will be happy to answer any questions you have.
Always ask your doctor any questions you can think of when you have an appointment. If you wonder about anything ask. Be informed & be really nosey! :)
