I was told it could be either thigh or tummy, I found it much easier in the tummy (below bellybutton) as I had an inch to grab :) but alternated between tummy and inner thighs for my recent cycle as I had to have 3 injections a day and it was too much for my tummy. Also it's always better to make sure you're somewhere comfortable and have plenty of time so you don't rush and bruise yourself (had a couple of toilet cubicle experiences which ended in my tummy being a little sore).

Good luck on your journey xx
