Most definitely get a pregnancy test, or better yet make her gyn appointment, for pregnancy test and pap smear. At that point she can talk to gyn about birth control options. No you can not "force" her to use implant or depo. It sounds as if perhaps daughter wants to be pregnant. Unfortunately many younger ladies feel the same as your daughter. My best advice is to have a long talk with her regarding safe sex and birth control options. If she is going to be grown up enough for sex, then she needas to be grown up enough for birth control and STD protection. (I know easier said than done). Keep the lines of communication open, keep talking, and keep praying!
