Hi everyone

I'd like to talk about the injection

I had for years awful awful periods

Very heavy and flooding and excruciating pain

Clots and horrendous horrendous back and leg cramps and pains

So after 7 months of constant bleeding and days of no social or work life as couldn't walk from toilet to bed without turning around and flooding

Couldn't drive to shops and flooded the car seat! Had 11 showers one day in 3 hours as clots just kept coming and flooding was using 40-50 tampons per day and pads all to no avail

I had endless gynaecologist spots

Docters nurses trying to do smears but couldn't as felt like my insides had dropped

Eventually got offered a hysterectomy...I I'd don't it makes you ratty mseriously seriously considered it

Then the g.p said I want to try this injection it will stopakes you fat m the bleeding and we can see what's is going on?

Friends said no don't Ok I thought why not they said make u fat

Make u ratty

You get spots

It's no good?

Ok I said look I have to try it I'm on iron tablets for low blood

On pain relief(600)mg ibrupfin

500 mg trananemic acid and more and I need to try something...

Ok so I had the first one in September 2016 ... omg! I stopped bleeding in hours

Wow! I thought ...

NO NO NO

The next day I had the most painful horrendous period in my life clots clots clots pain pain pain sickness the lot but 3 days later all stopped... completely and I have not had a period since not at all I've had the injection now 3 times (due nxt week again) and I swear it is the best thing ever (to date) -) yes it's a hard lump in tummy for weeks and weeks and yes the first 2 take time then you feel better and it starts to work. It ladies.... I would recommend this depo injection to any one

As it's the only thing apart from surgery I have had work and in my opinion (don't ever believe anything works haha) but this I'm shocked

This has gave me my life back

Been in holiday no more days / nights alone why the hubby kids friends all out

Not ratty

Can go walking and swimming etc

I have a Socioal life again!!! And that's because if this....

Please try it

Please bear with it....

It will work xxx

Hello. I haven't had this experience. I have heavy bleeding after 2 injections, with only 10 days without bleeding in 5 weeks.
