Where do you inject?

I'm starting Mounjaro tomorrow.
It says inject in either abdomen, thigh or upper arm.
Just wondering where you think is the best place.
TIA

I've always done abdomen but I may try thigh once to see if there's any difference. If not, I'm going back to abdomen.

I’ve done abdomen for all but one of my injections. I did the thigh one week but made no difference to me so went back to abdomen. May try the arm just to see if it makes a difference

Abdomen. In the arm it says that someone else should do it, as otherwise it's hard to manage it on your own.

I do thigh, alternate legs each week. I think I read somewhere that abdominal injections result in more side effects but that's probably rubbish. I am going to try abdomen tomorrow and see what happens.

Abdomen, I have a fat tummy so plenty of space. I sort of rotate around my belly button on a clock face - 3pm, 4:30pm, 6pm etc for my injections. My first jab was in the thigh and I got a big red itchy sore patch with a bruise so haven't tried there again.

I go for abdomen. My thighs are pretty muscular (for a fatty) whereas I have loads of injectable flesh on my tummy!

First one in my thigh.

Next 8 or 9 in my stomach and now my arm. Perfectly easy to do on your own 😁

Jab 21 for me tomorrow and I've always done it in my abdomen, alternating sides each week.

VioletCrawleyForever · 23/10/2024 15:09

I always go with abdomen

Thank you all.
I've just done my first injection, in the abdomen.
Didn't feel a thing.
