Tinks, that was really poor of your dr to not give you a blood test before giving it to you. What a scary thing to go through!

Any issues with insertion?: nope, it's just a shot in your bum
Any side effects or problems?: Yes, plenty I gained 15kg in 2 months (without my diet/exercise regime changing), I got acne (I never even get pimples regularly), I was extremely moody and also irritable. For the entire time I was on it, I didn't feel like I was in my own body.
Would you recommend to others? No Why?: I stayed on it for 18 months in the hope that it would just take a while for my body to accept it. It didn't.
