Navigating Fertility as a Nonbinary Person with PCOS

Are there other LGBT+ people here on a fertility journey? I am nonbinary and have PCOS. While my obgyn office is really good about using my preferred name I struggle with all the pink and the inherent femininity of the whole process.

Hey! I’m bi, but never went through a fertility process, but I wonder if you can’t ask if they could have a room that is neutral? If it’s a place you’re going to be going to for awhile (hopefully not!) then I don’t see why that accommodation would be too much to ask for?

Non-binary, not currently planning on having kids, but do sympathize with your situation. Really hate the pink-painting of period products. Whatever small things you can change to make yourself feel comfortable, don’t feel ashamed about asking.

Pan cis woman with PCOS here but even I hate the pink feminity of certain aspects of our culture in general
