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

Just put in mind you're not to conceive before taking it. And always check yourself before going for it. I had my period for more than 2 weeks. Always worried and feeling sick to my stomach. I will be stopping it
