The contraceptive injection contains the hormone progesterone. This hormone works to thicken the mucus in the cervix, stopping sperm from reaching an egg. It also thins the lining of the womb and, in some, prevents the release of an egg.
Most women can be given the contraceptive injection. It may not be suitable if you:
You can have the contraceptive injection at any time after you have given birth, if you are not breastfeeding. If you are breastfeeding, the injection will usually be given after six weeks, although it may be given earlier if necessary.
You can have the injection immediately after a miscarriage or abortion, and you will be protected against pregnancy straight away.
