For our family planning, I chose to have my contraceptives injected that is good for 3 months. But I noticed that I have rapidly gained weight, perspires a lot, and constantly experiences mood swings. Does anybody experience this too with the contraceptives injection?

Hi there, your side effects are normal: weight gain, mood swings along with headaches, breast tenderness and irregular bleeding are common after getting the injection. On the plus side, contraceptive injections may provide some protection against cancer of the womb and pelvic inflammatory disease.

Thanks for the prompt response. Will everything be normalized once my hormones stabilize after prolonged use of injection?

I heard it's normal to have a side effect like that when you opt for injectable contraceptives. If you know you're the tabain kind of person and you wanna control your weight, I suggest you just veer away from the injected ones. Find what's best for your preference. To do this, it may help if you do pros and cons for each of the birth control methods you prefer the most.
