Hi Wayne,

Thanks for clarifying about the testosterone shots.  I am sorry about the hypogonadism and not being able to have children (if that was a desire of yours.)

Please forgive me if I am telling you stuff you already know, but I think hypogonadism can be the result of CAH that is not well-controlled.    And I think it is something that may be able to be corrected.  Have the doctors ever talked to you about this? 

Another question, if you don’t mind.  Did you go through all the normal stages of puberty and at normal times....broadening shoulders, deepening voice, etc?  I’m asking because hypogonadism essentially means that your testicles are immature/under-developed, which can be due to uncontrolled CAH.  I am trying to figure out if this might have happened as a result of not being well controlled in childhood, or if it happened in spite of being well controlled in childhood.

Thanks again!
