I started the injection about 5-6 years ago, I thought it was the easier option as nothing interferes with it. So far so good, I get times though when I come on - not heavy, but sometimes I can be on for 3 weeks straight! So it can be a bit of an inconvenience especially as there’s no warning signs beforehand!
