Hello everyone! I decided to introduce myself on this board because I feel the members on this board would be more knowledgeable than those that have not ran into issues yet. Little/long back story: I am 22, DH is 29. We have been together for 3 years, married since May, 30 2015 and TTC since then. My mother had infertility for 8 years, I am a product of Clomid, and am an only child. I always had a feeling that I would have issues conceiving. I started getting AF when I was 10, and have had missed periods every since. Like, 4 a year and incinsistent. But, every doctor I've ever had always said I was too young to be concerned, that it would work itself out as I got older. Which I know now is not true. I was put on birth control when I was 17, but for bad acne, not because of AF. My BC was changed probably 5-6 times over the 4 years I was on it because absent, long, or heavy periods. No one ever thought to check hormones until I was 21. The first set of hormones blood tests all came back fine, Estradiol, Estrogen, TSH, Lipids, Prolactin, and a few other basic tests. Sugars are also fine, not diabetic. Those were done in early 2014, ordered by my NP. Got a new OB doc in May, absolutely adore her! I stopped my BC in May. I've had 4 AFs since. The first 2 were because the BC hormones were still lingering in my system, they were irregular also. The last 2 AFs were in Oct/Nov, got them because I was put on Provera. In October I had another set of hormone blood tests, this time we finally found something. Along with the aformentioned tests, my OB decided to also order 17-hydroxy Progesterone. This was the only test that came back irregular. Normal range for that test is 15-70, by level was 555! Finally something proving I'm not crazy, something is wrong with me! After my doc called me with this, she decided she thinks I have Congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The result along with other symptoms I have led her to this. She also put me on Metformin to help with ovarian quality, even though I do not have PCOS or sugar issues. Right now, I am on my way to my first appointment with a Reproductive Endocrinologist. DH and I are so nervous and excited at the same time! I am hoping this community can give me somewhere to vent, and maybe find someone with similar issues to discuss with! Thank you in advance!! --Summer

Thank you so much ladies!! My appointment with my RE was nerve racking, but not terrible. He redrew my 17-hydroxy progesterone for a comformation. And I will know the results of it Tuesday. He also had a AMH, Testosterone, and regular progesterone drawn today also to cover bases. He told us that he is not comfortable treating me by himself because I am only the 2nd person with my condition he has had. If I were to conceive and did not use steroid injections my chances of having a masculine female are very high. And she would have my condition also, we assume my mother had it as well. If my husband is also a carrier, there's a chance I could have a daughter with male anatomy. So, of course I want to take every precaution I can to prevent passing this on. Since he doesn't deal with this often enough, he is referring me to a medical endocrinologist and a genetic counselor. I will know more on when that is happening tuesday.
Thank you so much for an open welcoming!!
