Don’t. The worst part is the lidocaine injection bc that’s all you can feel. And its less painful than the flu shot

1- not for everyone, every body is different and thus responds differently. Many experience no side effects at all 2- lots of people have to get it as hormonal treatment for other conditions and not directly for pregnancy prevention

Pregnancy is worse than any bc side effect. I cant afford a child and I cant risk having one 🤷🏽‍♀️
