Just wanted to add my experience to what was already said. Corry is VERY right...diagnosis of PCOS is much easier and much more straight forward (especially if you find a good doctor...go for repro endo or ob/gyn). Also treatment is much easier on the system.
What happened with me was I was diagnosed PCOS and was treated for that with Metformin, also ate low carb, exercised 3-4 times a week, lost 30 pounds (all the things that are part of PCOS treatment) and my testosterone numbers would not budge, my periods would not return, and I certainly wasn't ovulating. This is what clued my doctor into the fact that there was more going on than just PCOS and that is when i was tested for CAH.
So that is my recommendation...Do some research on PCOS...find a doctor and discuss the possibilities...try the PCOS treatment and if it doesn't effect your lab numbers go from there.
