Experience

I enjoyed the fact that I didn’t have periods whilst on the injection, but it completely ruined my sex life. I had no libido and when we did have sex it was painful due to dryness and left me feeling worthless.

My libido came back after a few months and sex is no longer painful whatsoever. My mental health improved and I felt less ‘apathetic’ and dull.
