Trigger injection.. Stomach or thigh?

So I have to trigger tonight at 2145. I've been told to do the ovitrelle (excuse my spelling) injection in my thigh.

So far I've done all my injections in my stomach and Im not keen on doing one in my thigh. I have this weird motion that I don't have enough fat on my thighs and ill be hitting straight into muscle.

Does it really matter if I do it in the stomach or the thigh?

I took mine in my stomach as I was the same couldn’t bring myself to do it in my thigh, my nurse said it didn’t make any difference just to do it where more comfortable, good luck with you cycle! X

Thank you.. I should have asked today when she was showing me how to do it in the thigh. For some reason she showed me that one in the thigh but the other one in the stomach. I meant to ask if I could do both stomach just forgot because there was so much info.. Thank you xo

No worries. Yeah not too bad. Lots of anxiety as to whether this pregnancy is happening or not or if same as last time. Feels like a long wait til scan to find out 😑

I did mine 2 weeks ago and was told to do it in stomach. Not sure I could do the thigh as not much fat 🤔. Good luck ladies x

Mine was stomach and found it pretty painful for some reason. So for the second cycle I applied ice pack and numbed it. It was pretty OK then.
