Hi Leah

It can be normal after your first injection. I was warned that I may have a period but I didn’t. I expect your mood relates to a big shift in your hormones and the pain. I expect it will start to settle. In my case my injection was a monthly rather than 3 monthly. Expect you’ve had a larger dose. Really hope when it settles you start to feel the benefit. I found it initially really effective but unfortunately after a few months it became less effective for me. I’m now on Prostap. Fingers crossed for you. X
