Easiest contraception I’ve ever had! No issues apart from possibly more spots however that could be linked to a change in lifestyle that occurred at the same time.

Only issue I have is after orgasm I have a short burst of bleeding then stops so intercourse with my partner is tricky. Also I always get a lump form and bruising after every injection
