Don't shoot me, but if you have an uterus, it is very unlikely that you would have AIS. I guess you have to ask your doctor for more information. Ask him/her if it is possible that you have a partial form of the Swyer syndrome.

A long time ago everybody with XY-chromosomes and a female body was diagnosed with testicular feminisation. After that name became not-political correct, the diagnoses was changed to AIS. But many of those women have a 'similar condition'.
