Where do you jab?

[NorthernGirlie]

And do you feel like it makes a difference?

I've been doing it in my upper arm but get comments about bruising.

I inject into my stomach, haven’t done anywhere else. I can’t imagine how I’d manage to inject into the back of my upper arm without help!

What do you mean about getting comments about bruising?

My stomach. Which is good as I can’t seem to manage to do it without bruising. Though if I ever wore a bikini (ha!) anyone who did wli would find it very obvious with my bruise dots of varying colours on my stomach!

Stomach for me. Thought about my arm but couldn’t work out how I’d do it properly. Only caused a bruise once on my stomach but most of the time I don’t mark and I bruise like a peach

Always stomach. Arms just no... Plenty of fat, just awkward as...

I think thighs are challenging too. It says front of thigh, but that's where your quads are... My thighs are chunky but solid and strong. I walk and swim for hours every week and have done for years

Stomach and outer side of my thighs

I’ve always done my stomach,
never done thighs or arms.

Thighs. Have only had bruises once or twice in 17 jabs.

I lean on the arm of the settee - not sure why I do it that way really! The bruise looks like a thumb print I guess so a few people have asked about it!

My stomach was the largest and easiest target when I started. Still is really, and now it’s just routine for me.

I suppose you could try stomach or thigh if you wanted any bruises to be out of sight.

Always the tummy, plenty of fat too choose from there 😂 I switch sides each week although much prefer when it's the right sided week as otherwise I have to twist and it's a bit tricky!

Stomach works fine for me. Thigh bruised much worse, I guess because of the muscles there.

Fat roll on tummy or squishy inside of thigh.

I thought it was side of thigh?

Always stomach, not tried anywhere else.. just feels wrong.. no idea why.. got plenty of fat on my belly to cope with it so carry on with that.. I'm nearly 50 weeks in and think I've bruised about 4 times now..

Arms! Have done pretty consistently since a couple of months in other than a few in my belly when I’m too lazy to walk upstairs to use the mirror! 😂😂😂

I find a nice juicy stomach roll and jab there.

Always thigh - tried stomach once and had horrible side effects, I know this may be coincidence but back to thigh this week and all good.

I usually jab in the top of my thigh.. Easier to reach and less painful for me than the stomach. Everyone’s different though just go with what feels most comfortable

Stomach always.

Arm- for those saying they can't imagine how you do it, I just put my arm up over my head and bend it at the elbow, then stick the pen in my under arm.

Not sure if I've described that very well- but basically like in this stock photo!

I find it gives me a better suppression than anywhere else I've tried.

I saw something about the absorption in the stomach being different to thigh and so more chance of side effects. Not sure how true but I did first in my thigh for this reason and now feel like I need to continue in thigh as didn’t get any side effects.
