For the first few weeks, it was brilliant, my period was stopped and when it did come it was much much lighter which was what I wanted, however, I did still get cramps. In the last month of use (my injection lasted from May-August) my PMS symptoms became much more severe and lasted much longer. Instead of feeling nauseous for one or two days in the run-up to my period, it was four of five days of increased anxiety and low mood. Now that I'm coming off it I am suffering from withdrawal bleeding (which has lasted almost three weeks) and cold-like symptoms along with nausea.
