I would encourage you to go to your husband immediately and tell him the truth. This is a genetic disorder and nothing for you to be ashamed about. It's not your fault. We all have many defective genes, its just that you happened to get two of the same defective ones, one from your mom and one from your dad. Send him to the CARES Foundation website to read more about LOCAH. Make sure he does not get CAH and LOCAH confused. They are not the same thing. Its great that you are going to get genetic testing. Then you will know exactly what genes you have. I'm 48yrs old and found out 2yrs ago through genetic testing that I have LOCAH (2 genes) and my husband is a carrier (1 gene). All 3 of our kids have LOCAH (2girls and 1 boy), once they got through puberty its a breeze. None of them are on meds. I am on Metformin & Dex and it does take time to see a result. In time, maybe your dose is not enough. Just keep checking this out.
