What is contraceptive injection?
It is a medical technique used by women during the period during which they do not want to conceive, where the contraceptive injection (Depo-Provera, Sayana Press or Noristerat), releases progestogen into the bloodstream, preventing the egg from being released every month.
It also makes it difficult for sperm to move through the cervix, thus limiting any way for sperm to meet an egg and get pregnant.

The duration of the injection is multiple depending on its type and the quantities of hormones it contains:
- One month's effect: It is short-lived and concerns a woman who does not wish to continue long without pregnancy, as the needle ends after one month of injection.

- One-year effect: This possibility is usually selected immediately after birth, which helps the mother's body to regain its activity better than in the event of a new pregnancy.
