What's the best place to take the injectible medicine? My RE prescribed Follistum (just 75 ml), and dh did it in the thigh tonight, and that hurt. Is it better in the stomach? Where do you do it in the stomach? Just below the belly button?

Thanks for any information.

Mare,

Does it matter where in the belly? Below the belly button?

I take my shots in my hip. Can barely feel it. My doctor recommended the newer form of shots with my gonal f. I have taken the other for four months. It's scary breaking vials open every time to get a shot. The gonal f now comes in one vial and you mix the water and draw your shots from the vial. When finished ... cover and refridgerate. The needles are small like diabetics have. Can't feel a thing. Goodluck sunshine!!!
