I wanted to come off progesterone injections as I know within the next 5 years I would like to try for a baby. I had been on the injection for nearly 10 years so had no periods or very light irregular ones a year after stopping. Insertion was unpleasant but the nurse was lovely and it was over so quick. I have had fairly bad period pain but nothing some ibuprofen and a heat cushion can’t help. Other than that my skin has improved, my sex drive is higher and I have lost weight. My periods are a little heavier than normal but are now regular. I do experience quite bad ovulation pain now but not bad enough to take pain killers. I like knowing that my hormones are regulating and knowing it will work for 5 years gives me peace of mind. I would recommend to anyone who doesn’t suffer with heavy periods.

The best contraception I have used. Insertion is no where near as bad as you think it will be in your head

So far period have been very heavy and more painful than usual, but I’m hoping that this will begin to settle in the next few months. No breath through bleeding and causes no interruptions which is great.
