Androgen insensitivity syndrome?

for anyone who knows anything about it, do you think i'm a candidate? here's how it is, a couple years ago i got blood drawings to see how much testosterone i had, and i had 40. my doctor said it was abnormally low. i got those tests between 12 and 13 years old. the endocronologist i saw at the time was saying i needed testosterone injections, but i'm a mtf transgender, so i refused them. right now, i'm seeking hormone replacement therapy, and i'm almost 17. my new endocronologist got faxed my new blood test results, and apparently my testosterone is in the normal range suddenly after 4 years. the thing is, i have a femenine face structure, a femenine body shape. i have wide hips, a smaller waist, and little breast mounds. i store fat in my thigh and hips mostly. my voice is femenine, and i have low muscle strength. i'm normal height for my age, tall actually, 5'10 1/2. the only thing that has been going on is hair. i even have some facial hair, but not much. do you think i have something going on like that?

If it was simply delayed puberty, you wouldn't have developed features that were clearly adult feminine in nature. Perhaps you need to have some further tests run. AIS can take form in both female and male bodied people, and people who are XY/ have clearly male genitalia can still have very feminine secondary sex characteristics.

It isn't unheard of for transgendered people to have some kind of physiological intersex condition.

maybe idk because some facial hair is actually normal for girls
i have facial hair but not freakishly...i call it peach fuzz on my upper lip lol
but its only cuz my parents r both hairy
so really it depends....has it always been that way or just suddenly....i wouldnt get too worked up about it

You probably just had a late puberty. I know I hadn't started puberty when I was 12. I wish I had found some way to avoid it, but you seem to have caught it before it could do too much damage.
