Those tonics would not harm a man, but they could cause ovarian suppression in a woman. Even if I were to get pregnant, my progesterone levels would not be high enough to sustain the pregnancy. I bent over, heaving, unable to believe what I had just heard.

"Ari, are you listening? I've already made an appointment for you with my senior this afternoon for a full body checkup. Got it?" "Checkup..."
