I\u2019d only gone to the clinic because I\u2019d been feeling tired and occasionally unwell.

Let\u2019s run another test.\u201d While waiting for the results, my thoughts spun in circles. I replayed every detail of my life, every routine, wondering how something so unexpected could happen.<\/p>\n<p>A few days later, the follow-up results revealed the truth.
