To be honest , I was a little worried before I received the medical report , but when I saw the results , I
breathed a sigh of relief ; apart
from the gynecological problem for which I had been seeking treatment , no new illnesses had appeare
d .
Isabel and I breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and went together to
thank Leonardo ‘s relative . Leonardo ‘s relative was very kind to us . After examining my medical repor
t , he told us that Delta Hospital had just hired a renowned _gynecologist abroad and suggested that I c
onsult her about the chances of recovery . _ I was naturally anxious to get it
done , so I went to see the gynecologist who had just returned from abroad on his recommendation .
The gynecologist was known as Sara Tavares , a very nice middle –
aged woman who looked to be in her 50s . _ After listening to me explain my condition , she immediate
ly arranged a series of tests for me . So she too _gave me a hormone test when he learned that my per
iod was irregular since the miscarriage . _ When she saw the test report , however , her expression tur
ned solemn . _ _ _ “ How can that be ? That doesn’t make sense . ”
His grave expression instilled fear in me , and I Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
was momentarily stunned , my instincts screaming that this was bad . Isabel was also nervous . “ Docto
r, is there a problem ? ”
Sara nodded . “ You are suffering from a severe hormonal imbalance as your estrogen levels are too hi
gh . _ _ I think her infertility is caused by her hormone imbalance and the high levels of estrogen in her
body . ” Isabel and mewe exchange a look . At the time , I had also had a medical check – up , but
the doctor only
said that
there was a problem with my fallopian tubes and cervix , so I could n’t get pregnant . _ _ _ She never s
aid I had a hormone imbalance or high estrogen levels . Isabel then asked anxiously : “ Is such a
condition treatable ? ”
“ A cervical problem is very easy to treat . As
long as the medication is taken and applied regularly , a full recovery is possible ” . Sara stopped for a
moment . “ But your hormone imbalance and high estrogen levels are very different .of
the usual cases . If it were n’t for the fact that you ‘ve been trying for a child for
the past five years , I would suspect that you ‘ve been taking birth control pills for a long time .
“ Taking birth control pills ? How is this possible ? ”
“ Exactly . But in my professional opinion , only people who have been on birth
control pills for a long time would have these symptoms that you are exhibiting , ” explained Sara .
Ever since I was diagnosed with infertility after my miscarriage , I was depressed . I sought treatment e
verywhere to cure my infertility , and it was no exaggeration to say that I
had taken an ordinary person ‘s medication just to have a child .. How could someone like me take birth
control pills ? “ Could my hormone imbalance and high estrogen levels be due to overuse of medication
? _ _ _ _ ”
“ This is a viable possibility . Which hospital did you visit at that time ? Sarah asked .
“ Maternity and Child Health Hospital . My assistant physician was Madalena Castro ” , I replied .
“ Madalena Castro ? She is a doctor with a good reputation in this field , so she should n’t have
made such
a mistake . ” Sara rejected my assumption that my hormone imbalance and high estrogen levels resulte
d from taking too many medications after _ _hear the name Madalena Castro .
Elizabeth , however , was troubled . “ Linda , if I remember correctly , it
was Joana who referred you to Madalena Castro , was n’t she ? ” she reminded me .
” O
what
are you trying to say ” I reflexively shifted my gaze to her .
Isabel ‘s expression was extremely solemn . _ “ Beautiful , could it be … ”
