One step closer to getting answers!
I haven't posted much in a while bc life has been super busy, but I finally got appointments with basically the only intersex specialist clinic I could find in the US that wasn't pediatric. I had my geneticist appointment first and we did a gene sequencing kit, which seems like the info will be released in sections bc I only got a few results out of the 50+ tested? I have a "variant of unknown significance" related to CAIS/PAIS which lines up with my low sensitivity to testosterone, but not much else. Is it possible to have PAIS with a uterus and underdeveloped ovaries? Or a similar condition? I was told that yes I might have some sort of androgen insensitivity but since it doesn't explain a lot of my other symptoms/traits, I could be "unusual or mixed DSD", I guess I'll find out more in 3 weeks when I go in to see the endocrinologist or maybe before if the geneticist gets more info than I got sent.
Even though things aren't conclusive yet, I already feel a sense of relief. I'm not trans, not cis, just weird confused and honestly miserable trying to navigate life. If I finally get some answers I think it'll really help my mind rest.
