How do you gals feel about something like this? This hasn't gone through clinical trials so still early stages.

I had such bad reactions to the Mirena IUD and minipill, I've been on the oral combo BC since then. I wish I didn't need hormones but they help with heavy/painful periods (even skipping them), birth control, and the estrogen helps with acne. I'm not sure if I can give myself a shot 😬 I'm pretty squeamish around needles and bad with pain.

The technology uses tiny crystals to achieve both long-term effectiveness and the convenience of injections.

Looks good, but I hope there are ways of mitigating side effects or potential allergic reactions, since it looks like something that stays inside of you for a long time and some side effects can appear weeks or months after the first exposure to a given drug
