Dear Jimmy,

Glad that you talked with http://www.caresfoundation.org because they should be able to help you. Dr. New in NYC http://www.newchf.org/research.php seems like a good place to look also : )

If I was looking to pop out a kid? if I could  ...lol ... then those would be the two places I would start along with going to a reproductive endocrinologist. It isn’t over until the fat lady sings and me the fat lady isn’t singing for you yet ; ) but it never really is over because it takes more to be a parent than to pop a kid out or drop a seed .

 For myself? I always new ...actually around age 26 had this feeling that I wouldn’t be poping out kids of my own and was this from the CAH maybe, from the untreated hashimoto’s thyroiditis? (treated in 05) could of been because that causes infertility,  or from the untreated celiac (found in 04) sprue because that causes infetility too, or from the cyst on my ovary that was spotted on a ultra sound that could not rule out cancer that a pap smear didn’t get the endocervical component  and the doctor didn’t think it was important to tell me or the cancer wasn’t there yet. Squamous cell is 75% of those cancer and endocervical is 15% who knew I was goingto get the 15 % one : ) go figure and been told that the CAH surgeries ...and the again narrowing of the vaginal canal made the test even harder. Plus the Doc remarked that the bleeding was from pre menopause and really could of been because Hashi thyroiditis from what i read may bring on early menopause.    Who really knows and medicine and people aren’t perfect - Plus what is done at the time is the best. Nobody did anything to themselves ...geez is that heavy and swack yourself with low self esteem but I look at it like God’s plan and maybe you will have your "own child" someday and maybe that child will be the biggest headache to you or greatest joy but maybe you were also meant to adopt because a parent means more than just the creation of a being......really it’s the reat of it that matters so much more and maybe if you do adopt then that child might go on to do something wonderful in medicine or be your biggest headache too ; 0

Different doors open for different reasons.        

All the best.
