Can you have CAH and have normal testostrone and progestrone levels without medication?

My ob/gyn thought i might have it after he checked my hormones and said that my male hormones were too high. He said that it might be CAH. He consulted a specialist about what test to do next. He did the test where they draw blood and then give you an iv of cortosone and then draw it in an hour. he never told me what the test showed. He just said that it would have been invalid because we found out that i was pregnant the time of the test. I ended up miscarrying and he said we would check levels again after my hcg went back to normal. He checked my testostrone and progestrone levels again and he said they were normal this time and he didn’t think we should do the other test again. He said that since CAH is so rare that i probably wouldn’t have it.

How would i know if this is something that i might possibly have and should i pursue getting tested for it?
