Injection

Injection

The injection for women consists of synthetic progesterone and testing has shown that this injection is effective for about 6 months. In New Zealand, 3 monthly injections are being used. The obvious advantage of the injection is that you do not need to remember to take a pill or use any other method.

In some cases, side effects of this method can cause some discomfort, such as spotting (that is, spots of blood between periods). Some women may retain fluid in the body. The injection is naturally available through a doctor only.
