Created a throwaway to reply to you here. I don't have the exact same condition, but something similar, though slightly rarer. I was born without testicles entirely, so like you, I did not develop but for the use of hormone replacement. Fortunately for me at least, it was obvious since birth, so I began treatment at the proper age for puberty.
Like you, as well, I was always paranoid about how my condition effected relationships. I just want to say, though, that if they care, then fuck em (well, not actually, but you know what I mean), they aren't the ones for you. I've only had 2 girlfriends that have known, and they both have taken it well. I know that's not a perfectly representative sample, but it's all in how you bring it up. I just mean, you can do it!
The worst part for me, though, was worrying about the kid situation. I had heard horror stories of women leaving impotent men, and knowing that it was a 100% impossibility for me to have children, that plagued me constantly. I'm still trying to get over this fear, but it is something that I have been discussing with my current SO.
