What is a "contraceptive injection"?
A contraceptive injection is a shot given by a healthcare provider that contains hormones to prevent pregnancy. It works by stopping ovulation, which is the release of an egg from the ovary, and by thickening cervical mucus to block sperm. The injection is typically given every three months, and it is a highly effective and convenient form of birth control. It can also help control menstrual cycles and reduce menstrual cramps.
