Mine was for stomach area. To be fair, it probably doesn't make that much difference between the two?

I believe it’s suppsed to be sub cutaneous (not intramuscular)

Traditionally the Thigh was used for all ivf meds but as there is less fat on thigh than stomach it’s now more common to do in the stomach.

I guess anywhere where you can pinch an inch would be suitable ! 🤣

Good luck
