Still alive, still fertile

Dr. Aaron left me a voicemail saying all the tests came back to her normal. "Normal" doesn't explain this phantom pain, but I'm still elated. For a woman to be robbed of her reproductive capability, I imagine, is comparable to a man being told that his sperm are lazy bastards with little interest in rushing out and propagating the species. It might make me feel less like a woman. What do you do when your primary form of identity is damaged? My heart aches for everyone who actually has to go through this. Just skimming the surface terrified me.
