I am new. Im only in my 4th week, but I have found that when I bring the shot to room temperature before injecting, it doesn't sting. I prefer my thigh to my stomach, but I did get a sting and some mild soreness.
I absolutely love my thigh shots they are my sweet spots. I make sure before doing my injections I'm feeling around in the recommended area for the fattest area. For me its more upper side right below the hip area. I did it on top one time and that area hurt for a few days. So I stick to upper side area.
That is wild on 3 shots. I have heard of 2. Mounjaro is the same as ZB, had you thought about doing a 5 with the 2.5 she gave you? That seems less traumatic 😂. Def look into new doc if she's not responsive. Sending hugs, hang in there!
Take one of the 5mg and one of the 2.5mg. If you have to fill the 5 mg again. You can combine it with the sample boxes you have to give you another 2 months of 7.5.
I did the thigh shot twice and both times I bruised and went back to the stomach area. My thighs shots was aggressive also. I lost more weight when I did it in my thigh, but afraid of the bruising. I started July 26, 2024 at 204.8 and today Nov 11, 2024, I am 165.6. My goal weight is 145. Thank you for sharing Queen.
On my 5 shot of mounjar0 2.5 and rybelsus pills 3 mg yeap I had both at the same time and I don’t feel nothing and I haven’t lose any weight I’m diabetic type 2
Also on the thigh shot, yes same here on the bruising and it did hurt and the bruise hung around for awhile. I don’t care for the thight shot I’ve only done it twice. Also I did bruise once early on on a belly shot, both finally disappeared but I was not happy with them. I am one to bruise easily and out of nowhere. I just started 7.5/week 2. My weight loss is very slow.
I had a bruise when I first did my thigh. I started using alcohol to wipe the area first. After doing that I did not have any bruising. I believe if the area is not "clean", maybe dead cells is going in the shot. Just my thoughts
Hope you get a new doc. If the doc says it’s okay then go for it. Keep us posted MJ = ZB. That is very generous of her. But since you have 5mg then do it with a 2.5mg. You can save those extra 2.5s for if you want stay on 7.5 a little longer if you can only get approved for 5mg pens and or not wanting to go up to 10. Can I ask why you don’t want to go to 10?
I am on wk 6 did my shot right out of the fridge instead of letting it get room temp & in my right thigh & I did get a bruise. I think I was also rushing so I just learned a lesson. Not too bad but I bruise easily but this was the 1st time I bruised from the shot.
I feel you with wanting reliable healthcare. Thanks for posting. You have to advocate for yourself
You definitely have to be your own advocate with your medical care. I changed doctors after years of medicore care and the difference is amazing.

I was going to suggest that as well. Best wishes on this issue.
@@tiafenn Thank You. I thought about doing a 5mg and a 2.5, but I was too chicken 😄
That is correct 💯
Thank you so much for sharing. Hope they sort out this situation for you quickly.
Everytime I take a shot in my arms or legs I bruise. Your not alone.
You look good …super skinny 👏👏👏

I was also going to suggest you take the 5mg and if you find in a few days it is not working you could add the 2.5
I would get a compound back up
I never knew the doctors would keep that med in the office.
@@TonyaGaines-p7d I didn’t either. I was a bit surprised
Yeah taking 3 shots seems a bit much, but you got to do what you got to do. Hope everything works out in your favor.

@@arethajohnson4566 I feel like I lose more when I inject in my thighs also. lol. Congrats on your progress 🎉
@allabout_amarie I do it on my thighs as well, no bruises. But I noticed it hurts on my left thigh not my right
@@Sansann84My left thigh also stings during the injection. I’ve not bruised at all.
I just started the 5 mg and the appetite suppression is huge for me...almost too much lol. I'm hoping I will adjust

I did the thigh once..never again. Severe diarrhea- i don't know if it absorbed too quickly or what but never again
My thigh shot made my leg numb and tingling. Will not do legs again, not for me. 😢
@@anoukgary7938 oh no.. sorry to hear that.
I would do a 5mg them a few days later do a .5mg. Alternate this till you get meds
I meant 5mg then a few days later a 2.5
I saw another girl bruise after giving shot in the thigh
