When Your Doctor Says You Have PCOS But Only Looked at Your Weight
from Fat and Fertile · host Nicola Salmon
This week's episode tackles a question I hear far too often, and it gets me every single time: "My doctor says I have PCOS but only looked at my weight. What now?"If this is your experience, I want you to know something right away, what happened to you isn't medicine. It's bias dressed up as care, and you deserve so much better.In this episode, we cover:- What the Rotterdam criteria actually are and why they matter- Why weight doesn't cause PCOS (and why that distinction is so important)- Other conditions that might be going on if you haven't been properly tested- Practical ways to advocate for the healthcare you deserve- What to do if you suspect you've been misdiagnosedUseful Links:Download: Fat Person's Guide to Getting PregnantBook a Fat Positive Fertility Roadmap CallFollow me on InstagramEmail me a question for a future episode Get full access to Fat and Fertile at fatpositivefertility.substack.com/subscribe
