Ganirelix -- stomach or thigh?

If you used Ganirelix, did your RE have a preference as to whether you inject in the stomach or thigh?  Thanks :)

  • Thanks wino. Sorry for the newb questions. This is our third cycle. I should be a pro by now. Instead I feel the anxiety -- not excitement, just pure dread -- creeping back in. Just emailed my fave nurse to ask, too.

    No need to apologize!  IF makes all our brains fuzzy and crazy!

  • I did thigh, but I think I am in the minority on that.  I am just used to it.  My RE didn't say he had a preference, and it must have worked, because I am going to ER on Friday!

  • I was told to do it in the belly. I did PIO in the thighs and that was a nightmare and my new nurse said never use the thighs. I will be using this for the first time in June. GL!
