I've never used the injection as a form of contraception cos i've always been happy on the pill.
I don't think i would go on the injection though because if you have a reaction such as weight gain or mood swings you have to wait for it to work it's way out of you system (which i think is about 3 months but i'm not sure) before you can try another form of it.
But i'm sure there are alot of ppl on the injection who are very happy with it. I guess it's all up to personal choice.
Would recomend it but i'd chat to the FPC or your doctor about any worries.
