Hey Trace. I also used a pen and gave myself shots in the belly. That just sounded more appealing to me than the thigh. I also rotated sides of the belly. I also have a history of fainting from blood/needles/scary movies. However, I was so determined to do this and was surprised that I did okay. I would just sit on my bed to do the shot and then lie back afterward for a minute. It did take me a few tries sometimes with chickening out, sort of like getting into a cold pool and you have to just take the plunge. My trigger shot was sub-q, so I did it in the belly too. If yours is IM, then you would have to do the butt/hip or thigh region. You could always ask if they can give you a sub-q trigger shot. Good luck! Just keep your goal in mind!
