More than twice as many women are using injectable contraceptives today as a decade ago, and the numbers keep growing. Women choose injectables because they are highly-effective, long-acting, reversible, and private. At the same time, many women do not choose injectables or stop using them because of side effects—particularly irregular bleeding, no monthly bleeding, and weight gain—or because they have trouble returning for injections.
This report provides tools that providers can use to inform women about injectables and help them be satisfied users.
