Hi Crystal

 

I copy below a paragraph taken from a booklet for adults with CAH, provided in the UK.  This suggests that if your husband starts treatment, there is certainly a chance you will be able to have your own baby.  Good luck! 

 

"There are two important long term consequences of CAH which only affect men, both of which are the result of too little treatment with cortisol.  These are infertility and testicular enlargement.  If adrenal suppression is inadequate then the adrenal gland makes too much testosterone.  High testosterone production from the adrenal gland can occur because the dose of cortisol is too low or because tablets have been missed.  The testicles, which also make testosterone, then shut down as the testosterone levels are high.  Unfortunately, ’shutting down’ the testicles also means that sperm are not produced in normal quantities and this can cause infertility.  Sperm production usually picks up if the adrenal cortisol treatment is increased allowing the testosterone production from the adrenal glands to fall, so the testicles can begin to work again.  It can take several months the sperm count to rise after an increase in steroid treatment."
