Injectable contraceptives are a method of birth control that involves injecting hormones into the body to prevent pregnancy. They are highly effective and convenient for those who do not want to take birth control pills daily.
Types of Injectable Contraceptives
- Monthly Injectable Contraceptives (every 1 month)
- 3-Month Injectable Contraceptives (every 12 weeks)
Who are Injectable Contraceptives Suitable For
- Those who want long-term contraception without taking daily pills
- Those who frequently forget to take birth control pills
Considerations When Using Injectable Contraceptives
- May cause irregular periods or absence of periods
- May have side effects such as weight gain, mood swings, or headaches
- Cannot stop use and immediately regain fertility; if you want to have children, you may need to wait for the body to adjust
- Cannot prevent sexually transmitted infections; condoms should be used as well
