Where are you doing your SQ injections?

[miel]

Hello all, I've got a question....
I have two injections in the morning. I always do one (luperon) on one side of my belly button and one (gonal-f: 150units) on the other. Well, this morning, I only had a half dose(75 units) left in my gonal f pen. So I had to do that dose and do the other 75units from a new pen. Anyway, I tried to do the second half to the upper right of my belly button. (above my other gonal f shot) It bled like crazy and left a welt, and then bruised like crazy. Where are you all doing your SQ injections? I need another place as a back up. I cannot reach the back of my arm! Any suggestions?
