How to Find a Fat-Friendly Fertility Clinic
from Fat and Fertile · host Nicola Salmon
Today's In Your Corner question comes from an Instagram follower asking: "How do I find a fat-friendly fertility clinic? My local clinic won't treat me at my current BMI and made me feel terrible at their open evening. How do I find a clinic that won't shame me? And what questions should I ask before booking to avoid wasting time and money?"If you've had a similar experience of not being able to access the care you need, this episode is for you. You are not at fault. This is the fault of the clinic and the fertility industry for being so fatphobic and biased against fat people.In this episode, we cover:- Where to start looking for fat-friendly clinics (including my clinic recommendation list with over 100 clinics)- How to ask other fat folks for recommendations through local and online communities- Essential questions to ask before giving a clinic any money (and why you need answers in writing)- How to protect yourself emotionally during the search process, including getting your partner involved- Why you absolutely deserve care that respects you and treats your boundaries appropriatelyUseful Links:Download: Fat Person's Guide to Getting PregnantBook a Fat Positive Fertility Roadmap SessionFollow me on InstagramEmail me a question for a future episodeFat-Friendly Fertility Clinic List Get full access to Fat and Fertile at fatpositivefertility.substack.com/subscribe
