Switching injection sites (thigh?)

Hi
I’ve done 2 injections, into different sides of my stomach.
was thinking I should do the next one into my thigh, but I can’t grab a chunk of flab there (plenty on my stomach!!! But I have quite muscular thighs).
is that an issue? Should I stick to my extremely well served with flab stomach?

If I inject in my thigh I get a large red patch around the site where I've reacted. No idea if it's because it's a less fatty area on me, but I always inject in the stomach now.

I did my first ever jab into my thigh and sort of went to the side at the top where I could grab some flesh.

Have to say I found it a bit awkward and it hurt a little so then switched to stomach where I stayed until the great arm experiment last week!! 😂

I always inject in my thigh and have never had a problem. I don't 'pinch' just stick the needle in. A pen needle that is 4-8mm long will only be going into subcutaneous fat, so no need to pinch and angle, as with a longer needle.

Is this really a thing now? People on this forum who would hoist ample bosoms at opioid / other drug users but don't see the hypocrisy?

Yes because wegovy and mounjaro are exactly and precisely the same as illegal drugs. Good thing we've got you to put us straight on that difficult matter.

Why do you think you 'should' inject into your thigh?

It's fine to keep doing it in your stomach. You're only doing it once a week.

Sorry, think absolutely ridiculous - nobody knows long term effects if not prescribed and yes, I'm naturally small and do not cast aspersions on others' eating habits so not jealous / envious!
