Is There Any Safety Precautions Like Pills For Birth Control?

I have a 13 year old daughter whom I started on birth control as a safety precaution, however she cannot remember to take the pill regularly which is how I got pregnant with her at 17. Is she to young to get the arm birth control implant or is there a better alternative for her?

Hello,
Thanks for letting us know your health concern. I have gone through your query and would like to offer my opinion. If your daughter cannot be regular with her oral contraception, you can opt either a depo shot or an implant. She may not be the ideal candidate for the insertion of a Mirena IUD, which is preferred in those who have had one or more children. Please get a proper clinical evaluation by a specialist before embarking on another mode of hormone contraception. Hope your query has been clarified. Take care.
