Laura, My family went through a very similar situation as yours. Our ultrasound indicated that we would have a baby boy. We were so excited because our toddler (a boy) would have a brother to grow up with. At birth, the doctors told us that we had a boy with hypospadias (the urethra opened at the base of the "penis") and either undecended or no testicles. I did not get to see the baby for 24 hrs because the baby was put in the NICU because of fluid in the lungs and I has a C/S with a spinal block and could not get out of bed. When I finally did see the baby and was able to change a diaper, I was quite surprised at what the "penis" looked like and it passed through my mind if my baby was really a boy. But I did not question the doctors, they were specialists- neonatalogists- and said that a urologist would have no problem correcting the "penis". We were more concerned about the fluid in the lungs and the lack of testicles. They did an x-ray and ultrasound and did not find undecended testicles- they did not find the uterus either. The baby was fnally released from the NICU after 5 days. The neonatologist told us the rest of the lab tests would be back soon. We didn't understand what she was talking about as no other lab tests had been mentioned to us. She said the chromosome test. We didn't think too much about that and just wanted to go home. We arrived at home and Grandma and Grandpa ooooed and ahhhed and about 3 hours later we recieved a PHONE CALL from a neonatologist that we had never even seen at the hospital. He informed us that our little boy was 46 XX- a girl. Needless to say, our world started to crumble. And we had erected a huge stork in the front yard informing all who went by that we were the proud parents of a little boy, not to mentioned all the family and friends who had already been told. An hour after the news, we recieved another call from the nurse practitioner instructing us to rush our newborn to a nearby children's hospital because the baby's electrolytes could be out of balance. Well, the next three days were the worst of our lives. No one was completely sure of a diagnosis, but the children's hospital did an ultrasound and found the uterus, so we knew the baby was definitely female. A diagnosis was finally established (salt losing CAH) and we started our education process. Our little girl had corrective surgery at 11 days old and she came through it like a champ. She has healed completely and her urologist says she may need one more little surgery later after her testosterone level is down to normal and remains that way. Her endo is still adjusting her Cortef to get her 17OHP down to a good level. She is doing great- weighed 13 lbs at her last check up. We are getting back to normal at home. We feel that the only reason we made it through this rough period was because of the tremendous support we recieved from our family, friends and neighbors. A support system is so important and I hope you have one to help you. This message board has also been a great help and has answered questions that the doctors just can't. Good luck!!
