There are several contraceptive methods that have been practiced in Indonesia, one of which is birth control injections. There is also a way that contraceptive injections or birth control injections work, namely that they continuously release the hormone progestogen into the bloodstream, which prevents the release of an egg every month (ovulation).
Birth control injections also thicken cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to move through the cervix, and thin the uterine lining so that a fertilized egg is less likely to implant.
Usually, birth control injections are given in the buttocks, but we can also get them in the upper arms, stomach or thighs.

Can I inject birth control during menstruation?
The question that often arises is, when is the right time? Can you inject birth control during menstruation? The answer is, mothers can get injections at any time during the menstrual cycle, as long as they are not pregnant.
Quoted from the NHS page, if you get the injection during the first 5 days of your menstrual cycle, you will immediately be protected from pregnancy. If you get the injection on another day of the cycle, you will need to use additional contraception, such as condoms, for 7 days.
Side effects of birth control injections during menstruation or menstruation
So, are there any side effects of birth control injections during menstruation or menstruation? The hormones in birth control injections can cause side effects in some people, but this does not happen to everyone, many people use the injections without any problems at all.
The most common side effect of birth control injections is changes in menstruation, especially in the first year. These include:
Bleeding more days than usual Spotting (light bleeding or brown discharge between periods) Not having a period at all About half of people stop menstruating while they are having the shot (don't worry, it's completely safe). Other possible side effects include: Nausea Weight gain Headache Sore breasts Depression Slight bruising at the injection site Small indentation in the skin where the injection was received (this is very rare)
Benefits of birth control injections during menstruation
As previously explained, if you get an injection during the first 5 days of your menstrual cycle, the birth control will immediately function effectively. Other benefits are:
If used correctly, the effectiveness of injectable contraception is more than 99 percent. Effectiveness will last for 8 or 13 weeks (depending on which injection is chosen) so there is no need to think about contraception every day or every time you have sex during this period. This birth control method is very useful for women who have difficulty remembering to take the pill at the same time every day. Mothers need to remember to do repeated injections before they expire or become ineffective. May be beneficial for women who cannot use contraceptives containing estrogen. This birth control method is not affected by other drugs.
Side effects after stopping birth control injections
Quoting the Planned Parenthood page, every time you stop hormonal contraception such as injections, there is the possibility of temporary side effects. But it usually goes away after a few months.
After stopping using injections, all the side effects of birth control injections that you experience will eventually disappear, and your body will return to the way it was before you started using it.
So, if the injection stops menstruation, in the end the menstruation will return after the mother stops taking birth control injections. It will take several months for menstruation to return to a normal cycle, but you may still be able to get pregnant during that time.
This injection can delay menstruation and the ability to get pregnant for up to 10 months after the last injection wears off. But some people can get pregnant soon after stopping the injections. There's no way to know how long it will take. So if you stop using injections but don't want to get pregnant, make sure to use another contraceptive method, even if your periods haven't returned to normal.
After all, everyone's body is different, and our bodies also change over time. So, we cannot predict exactly how the body will react when it is not injected. However, any negative side effects you may experience will disappear within a few months as your body gets used to releasing the hormone.
If you are worried about the side effects of stopping the injection, talk to your midwife or doctor. They may be able to provide more specific information about what to expect based on your personal health history.
