I started Ozempic Sunday last week. I couldn’t tell if the needle went in so on the left side of my stomach I had 4 spots where I had poked. I finally did the injection on the right side and when I did I pushed down a bit because when I took the pen out I could see the indent of the pen and the needle bent a little.
That night when I had a bath I noticed on the left side where I did 4 pokes I had red dots. So the needle was going in without pushing.
It must have worked because my appetite was much less and I lost 10 pounds.
This week when I did the injection I did it in my stomach the left side. I didn’t really push down this time because I didn’t want to bend the needle. I pressed the button and after it clicked back to zero I counted to 30 and took it out. My skin had some liquid on it and so did the area around the needle.
Does that mean I didn’t get the dose?
Am I doing something wrong?
