I'm the third and youngest child in my family, and the only one with CAH. This thread made me think....what if it had been my older sister (the middle child) who had been born with CAH instead of me and that prompted my parents to not get pregnant again? I would have never been born. Also, my sibs are much older than me (9 and 12 years older) and my mom often says that she doesn't know what she would have done with herself if I hadn't been home after my sister left for school. Next point that I was thinking about.....CAH isn't that bad. Yeah, I know it's kind of a pain in the butt, more so for some than others. I'm one of the lucky ones; it doesn't cause too much trouble for me. However, we all have our burdens to bear, no matter what. I can think of a few worse ones than CAH. My philosophy in life is "If life deals you manure, make fertilizer." (That's not quite how it goes, but this is a family message board....) I just look on all the things CAH has given me: a higher intelligence level (I know, I know, that one's debatable, but humor me), a more balanced view of how fragile and important life is, the chance to share ideas with all of you, and my core being. I truly believe I would not be the person I am without CAH (not just in the physical sense, but other stuff too), and I wouldn't trade it for the world. It's made me mature faster because I realize that there are things past the general teenage scope (and also makes other teens look so limited....how many days until graduation?????). Whoops, now I'm starting to ramble. CAH is entirely livable-with (hmm, don't think that one's a word...) and I personally can't wait to have kids, even if there's the chance they could have CAH.
