Hi! I am 26, a female, have had CAH since birth, and also had corrective surgery when I was younger. Today was the first day of visiting this website, and in a way, the first time of interacting with others with CAH. Reading the responses of the others has helped me realize that I am not the only one with this condition and its interesting twists. Juggling the medicine, doctors, and social situations has been challenging; however, I have not let it keep me from doing most of the things that I have wanted to do thus far in life. I was especially happy to hear that others have had sex, married, and have had healthy children. The one area that I think I have struggled with is sexual relationships. As soon as things start to get serious with a guy, I tend to clam up, and run the other other way. I have not told any friends about having CAH for fear of their questions and reactions, so I have not really gone into any deep detail with friends as to why I have not had an extensive relationship with a guy, except for saying that I just did not like them. Most of the time I shut the door on the guy before things even start to get serious. Any advice on getting over this? I truly want to share my life with someone. Thanks, SC
