New to 3T - DH with adrenal hyperplasia

in Trouble TTC
I've been lurking on The Bump for a while and just started posting on the TTGP boards in recent months. DH and I have been TTC for a year and are in the testing process now. Given our circumstance, this board feels more like the place for me. (Is there such thing as TMI on this board?? If I hit it, let me know!)
DH has congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) since birth and it seems to be causing some issues. His SA shows ... well ... nothing! The urologist suspects it could be a blockage. Yesterday, when the urologist did a physical exam, she became concerned about some lumps (DH has always had them and when he brought concerns to his Endocrinologist TWO years ago was told that they are due to his condition and didn't need to get them looked at.) He goes for an ultrasound next week - CAH increases the risk of tumors in the testicles - praying that everything is benign.
I'm extremely frustrated with the lack of guidance from our doctors. CAH is known to decrease the quality and quantity of sperm and when we brought this up with both our general practitioners, and my OBGYN, all brushed off our concerns and said to just try for a year. For all our trying, all the temping and charting and OPTs and getting our hopes up and false alarms ... there was absolutely zero chance I could have gotten pregnant in this past year! If we had followed our own instincts and been proactive we could have discovered much sooner exactly what we are up against. Lesson learned the hard way. We're focused now on making sure he is healthy.
Not sure if any others here have a DH with adrenal hyperplasia but would love to connect with anyone else who has been through this. Thanks for letting me vent (and hope that wasn't TMI !!!)
