hi so I had the first injection/implant today and I should have asked while I was there but didn’t think of it , how long until it starts to work and pain will go? Thanks

I felt like it took about a week for me to notice on my first one. Maybe more like 10 days before I felt a degree of pain relief. I have a bruise appear after about 5 days which is there for about two weeks

thank you , I am really grateful for your reply, I wish I could think to remember to ask questions at the time 🤦🏼‍♀️, thank you, will give me a little hope that in a couple of weeks I might feel better 🙏🏽

really hope it kicks in for you soon! It’s honestly made me feel so much better! I’ve had it for 5 months now and feel better than I have in over a year. It was horrible waiting for it to start working but hope you feel relief really soon! I’m terrible and always forget to ask questions too!

Thank you, I feel like my life is still on hold, literally waiting for that moment to feel free of it all.

hang in there. If they don’t help make sure you tell your consultant etc as they might be able to offer you something else ❤️

Anything from 2 weeks to your next injection. Depending on where you are in you're cycle when you had the injections, you may still get your next period which can cause pain so continue taking painkillers until your period stops and you feel pain is better.

I was already on my period when I had the injection, my periods last 10 days usually and I am yet to feel the benefits of the injection 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m holding out for feeling marvellous but I’m being super negative in my head about it all as I’m just feeling exactly the same and even more exhausted, I don’t know if this is me being dramatic or if it’s because my pain is always worse while on my period anyway or if it’s because of the injection, I’ve been overthinking every little detail 😑 thank you for the reply, I really appreciate reading other’s experience and advice x
