This has worked well for me. I did make a dietary change before having the Sanya press injection due to weight gain being documented. There absolutely no change to me what so ever and my periods are lighter (I had some serious issues with this before using this injection) I believe I would have put on weight if I hadn’t adapted my diet before hand as I’ve stayed my steady weight but overall it’s a plus from me 😁

I’ve put on so much weight even though I am eaten less than I did before. Felt irritable in the first couple of weeks but then my moods went back to normal. I now have a dent in my stomach which appeared a few weeks after my first injection (a friend of mine has the same thing and their doctor said its caused by the injection dissolving the fat In that area.)my back is always aching and I have no energy anymore I will be going back to the pill, seemed like a great idea but I definitely regret going on this
Somewhat negative mood
