• Doesn't interfere with sex
• Can be used if you are breastfeeding
• Does offer some protection against pelvic inflammatory disease and may offer some protection against cancer of the womb.
• Offers contraceptive protection for 8-12 weeks
• May reduce heavy, painful periods and help with premenstrual symptoms for some women

Any bad points?

• Periods may change, bleeding can be irregular (this can continue for several months after the injection is stopped)
• Possible side effects include headaches, acne, tender breasts, weight gain, mood swings abdominal pain and bloating
• Any side effects will probably last as long as the injection lasts (8-12 weeks)
• Sometimes fertility can take more than a year to return to normal after stopping the injection
• Doesn't protect against STIs, including HIV/AIDS

Where can I get one?
