New to tirze, week 3. Have been injecting abdomen exclusively. Is thigh equivalent or are there absorption / comfort differences?

Both work. Abdomen tends to have slightly faster absorption due to higher vascularity, thigh is slower and more gradual. For weekly dosing this is clinically irrelevant — total AUC is basically the same. Use whichever is more comfortable.

Rotate both. I do abdomen three weeks, thigh one week, cycle. Keeps any single area from getting lumpy / bruised. Also you'll want the flexibility if you ever develop an injection reaction in one area.

Back of arm works too if you have someone to help. Not a daily option but a 'travel and don't want to expose abdomen' option.
