So you can check it again if you want. If after 6 attempts there is still no liquid expelled then contact the supplying Pharmacy as it is faulty. That is then correctly set up. That is the only time you need to do that, unless you think the pen is not working. There is usually just a drop left on the needle after injecting, that would be normal.There is more than enough Byetta in the pen for a large number of 'primes,' unlike some other pens such as Victoza. You will see at the end of the 30 days that there is a large amount of Byetta left, which you will discard at that time.As for sticking it in your stomach or leg, it shouldn't hurt at all. Just a minor pinprick. I use the stomach area as there is usually more subcutaneous fat there than the leg.Hope that helps.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> Ken</blockquote>
