Smile bravelle injection sites

me and my dh just started bravelle this week. after 2 days we realized we were doing it wrong. we were suppose to take 3 a day instead of one. anyways the first nurse we spoke to the day we decided to do bravelle told us we'd be using im needles in the thigh or buttock. then we recieved sub q needles from the pharm. 2 days into the injections we noticed this and the the amount we had been doing was not what we were intially told to do. so i called my dr office. i got an unfriendly nurse who told me that subq needles were fine but that we needed to be taking the shots in the stomach. honestly i am not thrilled about that idea. i have a hard enough time keeping my hand steady to do them in the thigh. anyway i am confused because the day we decided to do the bravelle the dr office gave us a paper saying you can do the subq injects in the arm, thigh or stomach. now this nurse tells me stomach. so i was just wondering if anyone has had the bravelle injections and if so where did you inject at? im afraid to call the dr office b/c i don't want someone telling me arm next time. thanks
