Best Injection Site for Ovidrel?

I am going to be using Ovidrel for my trigger shot with IUI.  The RE said you can inject it in the thigh or belly.  Which one is better and hurts less?  I'm just trying to prepare myself.

  • belly.  mine is usually a bit bruised by the time I get to the ovidrel, but I always find a spot.  I think it hurts a lot more in the leg. 

  • I did it in my belly and it wasn't bad.  Good luck!

  • Wow - I'm surprised that you're all saying belly since I would think that would hurt more than the leg.  I trust you guys though so will take your advice (especially considering you've all said the same thing).  Thanks!

  • we did both...    i think i preferred belly (its easier to get a good pinch of fat on your belly).

    Because we're fancy like that.

  • My husband injected me in the back of my arm, where you'd get a normal vaccination, and I really didn't feel anything!
