Hi, sometimes I get bruises, but could you use a different area, to give the stomach a rest and also have a word with your DSN about it.
Good luck RRB

My stomach used to bruise rather often. I don't know if this works for anyone else but it definitely helps me?

I tend to try and squeeze a little tummy fat together in the place where I'm injecting, for some reason this really seems to help with bruising, pain and just seems more comfortable?

Like so:

I dunno! You may already be doing this, but I wasn't at first and I realised that it was silly not to ;)

My endo may have told me to do it, but I clearly forgot pretty quickly as I was a bit overwhelmed.
