It's an intramuscular injection and it goes in either the upper right or upper left quadrant of the buttocks.  

Your needle should be about 1.5 inches long.

Have your DH insert needle, draw back a little & make sure there's no blood.  Then plunge it in.

I don't think the HCG should go in the tummy. Its an intramuscular injection which should go into the rear or thigh. It has to go into muscle. But SUEGRE may be ok because she must be using it subQ(in the skin). And I have heard of this before. RE offices could vary.

It seems the preferred place is in the belly if you have some fat there. I did it in the belly and I didn't even feel it go in. My dh did it for me. Hold the needle like a dart and do it fast. It won't hurt if you do it quickly. Make sure you put the needle in straight or you may not be able to get all the liquid out.

Good Luck!!!

Its in your upper rear right below the hip. Just google HCG injection and find a tutorial on you tube.
