    oh, you inject subQ into your thighs? is that fairly straightforward?

    the nurse that trained me on self-injections said that lower abdomen was a better place to inject, but honestly I'm not liking injecting there (it's itchy for a bit after injecting, and oddly sore for a couple days), so I've been debating switching to thigh or ass (literally just for the meme of being able to say I'm injecting HRT straight into my ass).

      Yeah, I rotate between both sides of abdomen and thighs so I don't use the same area too often, but for me thighs are more comfortable. It's pretty straightforward, the area of the thigh that you can use for subQ is really large and hard to miss, but be sure to search it up beforehand if you're considering it of course.

        oh wow, I was under the impression it was a fairly small area, but just looked it up and there's about as much thigh to aim at as there is belly. thank you, this is really helpful!
