Chapter 41


    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 rtive . Leonardo ‘s rtive 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 rmendation .


    The gynecologist was known as Sara Tavares , a very nice middle –


    aged woman who looked to be in her 50s . _ After listening to me exin 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 irregr 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


    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 imbnce as your estrogen levels are too hi


    gh . _ _ I think her infertility is caused by her hormone imbnce 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 imbnce 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 regrly , a full recovery is possible ” . Sara stopped for a


    moment . “ But your hormone imbnce 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 , ” exined 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 imbnce 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 imbnce 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 … ”
