Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Depo-Provera is a progestin-only hormonal birth control system. One injection can prevent pregnancy for 12 weeks and is 99.7 effective. Irregular bleeding is the most common side effect.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
IUDs seem to affect the way the sperm or egg moves. IUDs are small devices made of flexible plastic that provide reversible birth control. The intrauterine device (IUD) is an object that is placed by a physician or nurse practitioner within the uterus to prevent implantation of a fertilized ovum. IUDs usually prevent fertilization of the egg, but the precise mechanism by which it works is unknown.
