Where do you prefer to inject?

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

Taking my first dose tomorrow, I’m not sure where to inject. Thigh or stomach? Don’t think I could manage to do my own arm accurately! Does it make a difference where you do it?

Minimal difference. I’ve only ever done my stomach, for some reason thigh doesn’t appeal at all and I don’t think I could manage to do my arm.

Some people recon they have effectiveness differences depending on where they inject.

I can't say I've noticed. I started with thigh because that seemed easier but got little bruises so moved to stomach and that's much better. No bruising.

Only ever done my stomach on alternating sides. No bruising and can’t feel a thing.

I only do stomach. Going round clockwise several inches from the belly button.

Having done 24 injections into my thighs, I thought I’d try my stomach (I’ve been daydreaming about wearing a bikini, and the occasional red patches I get after injecting don’t add to the look). I’d say I have had a tad less suppression, and a touch less nausea, but it’s hard to say.

In the kitchen.
No, in my thigh in the kitchen to be specific.

I am 8 months in and have been struggling with not feeling the effects so much anymore. I switched from tummy to thigh and it was much more effective again, so I think it does make a difference. Having said that, when I was injecting in the tummy only I found it really varied from week to week and day to day anyway

Tried thigh once in 6 months, very little suppression. Stomach rest of time much better suppression

Tries thigh the first time and got a massive bruise. Done tummy since then with no bruising.

I've only done one so far but did it in my stomach because thigh made me feel more scared. I think I overdid it and rammed it in though as I'd worked myself up about it. Got a nice bruise this morning.

love this thank you for this @Somethingthecatdraggedin7

I always do my thigh. Might try my stomach tomorrow if others reckon it's more effective. Worth a try.

I alternate thighs. (Would quite like to try stomach but I get an injection site reaction & if it was on my stomach I know I would scratch myself raw!)

I forgot to come back! I went with my thigh in the end. My hand was shaking so much at first, I’ve never had to inject myself before and I was really nervous. I managed it though and it wasn’t bad at all, I barely felt it!

Been doing my thighs since the start but after losing 3 stone it’s been starting to hurt there as I’ve lost a lot off my thighs.

Switched to tummy for today’s injection and will continue there from now on unless I get horrible side effects. (I haven’t at all so far)
