Quick and easy once every 3 months injection Didn't have to remember to take the pill. Very little effect to my mood unlike my experience with the inplant. Very easy and will take again Come off 1 month ago and no period returned yet. Will be TTC later this year

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
