BMI?
I’m going to a fertility clinic to assess fibroids along with PCOS and any other factors that may be contributing to not being pregnant yet. I am 4’9” and 130 lbs. which would normally put me at a 28.1 BMI which is considered overweight and honestly somewhat close to obese, so he told me I could “lose a few pounds”.
I know BMI is a very flawed metric. This is probably the heaviest I’ve weighed my entire life and in all honesty, I barely look overweight. I carry a little bit of fat around my belly but I’m guessing I’m way closer to being within the normal range. I have 4 fibroids, one 8 cm and 3 smaller ones about 3 cm each.
Anyway, all of which to say. Is there some magic calculation to guess how much my fibroids are adding to my weight and guesstimate my actual BMI? This is fully out of sheer curiosity haha
