To not want an injection in my bum?

Every time I go to the nurse for my pill check she always tries to talk me into switching to the injection instead. I have to admit that I'm not really convinced that it is the best thing since sliced bread that she is insisting it is but have been considering it recently. I thought it might be good not to have to remember to take a pill every day (I have tried the implant and hated it and I can't have a coil) so at my last appointment when she brought it up I asked for more details.

I did kind of like the sound of it until she mentioned that it's given in your bum (or as she politely called it "your bottom" Blush). I had assumed that it would be in your arm like a vaccine.

At this point I kind of went red and said I'll just stick to my pill thanks and left.

I am happy with the pill I'm on, so it's not a great loss...

Oh good lord- avoid this at all costs. I was on it for 20+ years and it has totally messed up my system. Take the mini-pill, or something else, but please don't get Depo. It should be banned in my opinion, because there is no long term research on how it affects your body in the long term. (Except my ranting, ha!)
