You also have to take into account your family genes, too, Sue. Are you or your husband dark skinned, dark haired or have a lot of body hair?? I remember freaking out when I could see a fair bit of downy hair on my then 3 yr old daughter’s legs; turns out her levels were fine, and (being dark haired and eyed herself) was just taking after her Dad’s more hairy side of the family - lucky kid! ;) Check with your endo, of course, to make sure levels are all fine, but I’ve seen a miriad of kids with and without CAH, and the amount of hair they have on all parts of their bodies is extremely variable.
