Living with MRKH syndrome

In my specific case, I still have my ovaries—one is a bit sluggish, but they both function, which means I’ve never actually needed hormone replacement therapy. As for my uterus, it’s small and underdeveloped, just like yours; there isn't much anyone can do about that kind of thing. It is what it is.
I went through karyotyping myself, and I received the exact same results.
Look, if you aren't satisfied with your gynecologist, find a new one!
I went through the ringer and switched doctors more times than I can count before finally finding someone who was, first and foremost, a decent human being—and then, a specialist who actually genuinely wanted to help me.
That wonderful man is retired now, but honestly, I don't know where I would be without him.
How long have you been struggling with this lack of knowledge regarding your own body and health?
And I should add... I understand you have a million questions. How? Why? Why me? When? And so on. I had them too, along with everyone else in a similar situation. The hard truth you eventually have to face is that some answers—the ones you are searching for to provide closure—simply do not exist.
Good grief, even my doctor is retired now... maybe he operated on both of us?
