Experience injecting in upper abs
Hey awesome Mounjaro community!
I recently took my 5th dose of my first 2.5mg pen. Given what I managed to get out and some priming I calculated that I injected a little over 3mg. In order to switch things up and avoid injecting in similar spots all the time, I injected in my left upper ab area (also got a little bit of bruising but I think that is a result of a slightly blunted needle post getting the 5th dose out).
Looking at where the bruising is, I left it quite close to the lower part of my ribs even though there was pinchable fat. I’m noticing much less hunger suppression and more food noise this week even in the first days after the jab and I’m wondering if this is due to the injection site (although technically still the abs I think) as I moved up in dosage?
I suppose it’s not a high increase in dosage... Next jab is going in the usual lower belly area after this experience but I’m curious if anyone else has experienced this / thought I’d leave this here in case anyone else had the same thought - stick to lower belly if stomach injections are your poison!
