Hey, sorry I took so long to respond to your post. I don't always get on here often...Things have been good for me. I am a happy person. Having CAIS has not affected my quality of life in a negative way. If anything, it has been a blessing in many ways. It has forced me to look at myself and accept myself for who I am. It has helped me to look at the world in a new way. I don't make the same sort of assumptions about things or people the way I used to. I don't take things for granted. That's the positive stuff. It was hard at first. I questioned who I was...what it meant to be a woman...was I really a woman?...would anyone ever love me as a woman?...would a man want me since I couldn't have children? But these fears gradually subsided. Who I am is more than male or female. The knowledge that I had AIS didn't change the person I had always been. I have a husband who loves me with or without AIS. We don't plan on having children, so that's not an issue, but if I did decide to have a child someday, I could adopt and that is a special thing to do. So basically, I'm saying don't worry. Learn to accept everything about yourself, and you will do fine. I hope all is well with you.
