Completely stopped my periods which has been amazing. Very convenient only have to think about 4 times a year and GP now very good at supplying in comparison to when this brand was new on the market. Have struggled to use the devices recently as have to apply a lot of pressure to inject the suspension and have therefore had to discard a few injections on occasion which isn’t ideal. Having using it for so long I can’t tell if my weight or mood have been negatively or positively impacted, but will be keen to see what happens when I stop using.

I kept using the injection as it felt like my last resort as I'd tried other pills and had side effects I didn't like. However, I had awful vaginally dryness and I think my sex drive was lowered because of it. It did mean I did not have a period which I thought was a positive.
