Episode 23: When Your GP Won't Test Your Fertility Until You Lose Weight

This week, we're tackling one of the most common issues fat folks face: being denied basic fertility testing until they lose weight.

In this episode:

- Why it's not your fault when doctors refuse testing based on weight

- The basic fertility tests you deserve access to

- When to seek testing

- Why your sperm-producing partner should get tested first

- How to advocate for yourself when doctors say no

Key takeaway: You are not broken and you do not need fixing. The healthcare system needs fixing. There are absolutely tests that can and should be done regardless of your body size, and you deserve to have your health needs met.
