My clinic advise the tummy area, anywhere below the tummy button. Just where you can punch an inch....or several in my case!😂 Good luck!xx

My clinic specifically recommend leg for menopur... but they're keen on leg anyway. I ignore them for buserelin and gonal-f, which I do in my tummy, but I am doing menopur in my leg. Maybe give them a call to check.

Hi. I was told my tummy for Menopur and that's what I did. It wasn't painful and I didn't need to switch around sites really. I just swapped from left to right each day. x

I was told either or for menopur but was told tummy below belly button on either side is best as easier to pinch the skin, it really didn't hurt much at all I did my first last night all straightforward . Best of luck xxx
