Depo-Provera has been shown to decrease bone density over time, so it should be avoided by someone who already has decreased bone density. The minipill and combination pill are both options that do not have negative impacts on bone density. NuvaRing has not been extensively studied for its effects on bone density, so it is unclear if it would be a concern for Kristen.
