Great question! Yes, women with classic CAH absolutely can and do conceive. Fertility rates for women with classic CAH have improved significantly with better research and treatments, reaching as high as 90 percent in some studies — similar to the general population.

Great question! Yes, women with classic CAH absolutely can and do conceive. Fertility rates for women with classic CAH have improved significantly with better research and treatments, reaching as high as 90 percent in some studies — similar to the general population.

That said, the chances can vary depending on the type of classic CAH:

- Salt-wasting CAH (more severe): Fewer than 10% of women in some studies have become pregnant
- Simple-virilizing CAH (less severe): Around 41% of women have become pregnant

Many who do conceive go on to have normal pregnancies, though careful monitoring is important. As for steroid type and dosage, that's very individual and needs to be tailored by an endocrinologist. During pregnancy, your endocrinologist may also adjust your glucocorticoid dose to help support the pregnancy safely.

A newer FDA-approved medication called crinecerfont (Crenessity) may also help by reducing excess androgen levels, potentially allowing lower glucocorticoid doses.

Other CAHteam members may share their personal experiences with conception timelines and medications in the community. Always work closely with your endocrinologist and OB-GYN for guidance specific to your situation.
