Sayana Press injection

I absolutely loved this means of contraception whilst I was on it, zero periods and the convenience of doing it myself was a dream. However, coming off it has been another issue.

Experience coming off Sayana Press injection

I've got indents on my legs, which I had no idea what they were for some time. My skin was all over the place, and my periods have only just come back (almost 1 year after taking my last injection), and I've had 3 in one month. I put weight on, I've noticed my facial hair has increased and I've noticed I sweat more. None of this is ideal and definitely worth considering.
