Does injection site make a difference?

Curious to know if any one out there knows if it makes a difference if you inject your progesterone in your thigh muscle instead of your butt. This is my fourth cycle and I have never had this issue but I ran in to it today. My husband is out of town and my daughter (17) was supposed to give me my shot but she has to work late. So, I gave myself the shot in my thigh. I know they recommend the butt because it is the largest muscle but the thigh muscle is pretty big too. Just wondering, probably stupid question, if it makes a difference for absorption. It hurt a little more of course, and I am sure my leg will be sore tomorrow but I can handle that as long as it doesn't interfere with my progesterone levels. If any has any knowledge about this it would be great to know, Dr.s office is already closed so couldn't call them.

Thighs are fine...but yes, it hurts more. I'm not sure I could do it. You're a brave woman. lol
