The Injectable is one of the most effective methods of preventing pregnancy. Many people refer to it as the Injection.

A woman produces an egg every month. If this egg meets a man’s sperm, the sperm will fertilize the egg and she will become pregnant. The Injectable prevents pregnancy by preventing the release of the egg and making it difficult for the sperm to travel up into a woman’s womb. So, no egg, no fertilization, no unplanned pregnancy.

There are three kinds of Injectables. One type of Injectable protects you from pregnancy for one month. Another type protects you from pregnancy for two months. There is a third type that protects you for three months. You and your health provider can decide which method suits you best.

When you decide you are ready for a child, all you need to do is stop taking the Injectable and you should get pregnant in a few months. The Injectable is one of many contraceptive choices open to women and couples in the Caribbean.
