I occasionally gave myself the pio in the rear. Wouldn't dream of doing it in my arm. First of all that needle is really long and I think the butt has more padding. Also needed one hand to pinch a little skin before inserting the needle- took my mind off of the needle going in. For example, twist to the right, pinch r cheek with l hand and inject with right hand. You may want to check with your doc, but it may also be more beneficial to have the progesterone in close proximity to your uterus.
