Just use condoms. Or she can take pills. Shots (and even pills) can have side-effects. Nothing serious, just unpleasant.

Also, for contraceptives, you don't need parental consent. A girl can even get an abortion without the parents ever knowing. So she can go in and get a prescription without an adult, so long as she can afford it.

You don't need parental consent to go to a doctor unless she's young enough that she shouldn't be having sex to begin with. There are barrier methods besides condoms you might look into. I'd highly recommend she at least try the pill before considering the shot. It has some much more serious side-effects including depression, suicidal thoughts, and other really awful drug reactions, and they will last for the full time the drug is supposed to be effective. And actually, the most effective form of body birth control is one YOU use:

It is safe, drug-free, limited side-effects, highly effective, and completely reversible.

All that Now-You-Know out of the way...

Unless your girlfriend's mother is likely to be abusive or break with her daughter over this, she really ought to be honest with her. You're facilitating her in betraying her mother's trust and damaging their relationship even farther with increasingly important decisions from which she is being excluded with by lies. There are circumstances that justify this. But I think you need to ask yourself, and then your girlfriend, if these are those circumstances. Does she fear her mother will do something drastic? Or is she simply too ashamed to tell her? If it's the latter, you might have some reevaluating to do about your relationship on various levels.

Yeah... don't use just condoms thats just asking for trouble. Condoms break, it happens and I'm living proof of it.

I'm just wondering if anyone here on the escapist has any advice on if it's possible for her to get it without a parent present or knowing or anything like that. Any advice on it would be appreciated so thanks in advance.

You need to go to a doctor. The shot has a nasty side effect. It can give you brittle bones so the doctor will check to make sure her body can handle it. She might need to take calcium tablets to keep her bones strong.

You can get it without parent consent... least around here. But her parents will find out once the insurance info comes in. She would have to get it without using her insurance. I think it costs 60 dollars or something like that... maybe it was 120... I don't know. Point is its not THAT expensive. Believe me as far as uninsured medical bills go its borderline painless.

Oh and one other thing, the shot creates a temporary "hormonal imbalance". So if she starts going bi-polar postal for a week or two don't take it to heart. Just get her through it.
I would say remind her the medication is affecting her judgement, but when I tried it it didn't end well... I would say just bring home happy things she likes, nodding, and shut up.

Hope this all helps lets me know if you need any specific details.

I've been having sex on a consistent basis for for over a decade now and condoms work just fine, don't let people tell you any different. If you want to be absolutely certain, when she is at her most fertile, use a condom and get her to use some kind of spermicide. This works. Condoms almost never break. They are as statistically accurate as something like an intro-utero device. The spermicide is less accurate, but together the chance of pregnancy is zero. If you want to be extra accurate, don't climax inside of her on a consistent basis.

The pills and injections mess with women's hormone levels and can cause all sorts of strange side-effects.

You don't need a doctor. I was in the same boat when I was 16 and this method is much easier than pills or injections, but it does take a certain amount of personal responsibility to keep condoms and spermicides around and consistently use them.
