This leaflet now covers the new injection Sayana Press as well as the other methods. Contraceptive injections contain a progestogen hormone which is similar to the natural progesterone that women produce in their ovaries. There are two types of injection. Depo-Provera protects you from pregnancy for 12 weeks and Noristerat protects you for 8 weeks. Depo-Provera is the most commonly used injection in the UK. This leaflet provides general information about the injections.
