tummy injections

I am currently taking lovenox and have been since I had my BFP.  Just in the last 4-5 days for some reason the lovenox leaks out a little bit.  It has never done this until now.  Any suggestions on how to stop it from doing that?  I don't know what I am doing differently.  I know that the tiny amount probably doesn't make a difference.

Have you tried leaving the needle in the skin for a few moments after you've injected the med?  Perhaps if you give the med a moment or two to be absorbed, less may leak out.  GL!

I would always count to 5 after injecting a sub Q before pulling out! I remember some bravelle running down my tummy, and I freaked that my poor follicles would be missing their dose. . I am insane I know!

When I was taking my sub-q injections, I alternated sides of my tummy.  Oddly enough, whenever I injected to the left of my belly button, some leaked out.  It never happened on the right side.  I also counted to 5 with the needle still in my tummy.  Maybe try a different area.

That happens to me once in a while too.  I don't really know why.  There's nothing that I do differently the times it happens.  I try to just think, like you said, the tiny amount leaking out hopefully won't make a big difference.
