Title: Stomach shots.
Post by: TransAm on July 22, 2017, 08:54:10 PM
Like the title says, has anyone used their stomach as an injection site? I've been alternating between thighs for almost two years and think it's time to find an additional site to utilize. I'm not too keen on the *** shot (too difficult to get to and my fiancée hates needles), so I'm thinking this may be a decent alternative.
I have a little bit of fat on my stomach (certainly enough to take a short needle) and I do sub-q injections.
Suggestions?

I actually started with the stomach for my first shot. I also do SubQ. I found it pretty easy. You don't want the spot directly adjacent to the belly button on either side, because there's not really enough fat there, but most anywhere else below the ribs should work.

I do my stomach and have done it for nearly 3 years :) I might switch it up soon just for variety but it's worked great for me.

Thanks, guys. I have a bit less trepidation now and will take my first one tomorrow. As my thighs keep slimming out, it's becoming more difficult to do sub-q.
