    Random Q about pregnancy are scars

    Didn't have that as a baby, but I did have an emergency appendectomy 2 yrs before becoming pregnancy with my son, and had 2 scars around my belly button. Pregnancy didn't effect them at all.

    Pregnancy and Lung Functions

    Hard questions, hard emotions to deal with. In my opinion it depends on each situation, and each one is different. I have a 4.5 yr old and a 9 month old. My first pregnancy was easy as pie. I did get sick when my daughter was 1 yr, due to a strange allergic reaction, made worse by cf, which was...

    Doing cayston on the go

    Currently doing month on/month off Cayston. Figuring out how to handle it when I'm out is tough. There's alot of conflicting info on how to sanitize properly, how long is ok to wait before cleaning the Altera, etc. The CFF's Altera cleaning video and Cf pharms instructions state washing with...

    Intense pain in upper back...?

    Oh that's the worst feeling. It could be so many things. You really should rule out serious things-collapse or partial collapse (much more treatable than it sounds!), pneumonia, broken rib, etc. Just a quick xray will show what it is. Its possible its a severe muscle strain. I know of lots of...

    Who conceived naturally?

    OK, first of all to answer your main question, I did conceive without intervention. (no clomid, IUI, treatments, etc). My first pregnancy, I conceived on the 2nd try. My second pregnancy took a year to conceive. I believe it was mainly due to stress, but as we were beginning to seek fertility...

    Wanting to conceive

    Originally posted by: Momto2 It's your choice and your husbands, no one else. Sounds like you are in very good shape and a good candidate. Keep in mind that its not just the pregnancy, but parenting a baby/toddler can be completely exhausting. Although we adopted (my stats at the time were only...

While on home IVs this round, my peak and trough levels got mixed up. They were mislabeled-but somehow no one wants to take the blame...I guess the labels...

    Wanting to conceive

    Even if your doctor is a good one, if the two of you are not on the same page I strongly suggest you seek care elsewhere. Pregnancy and life post pregnancy will have many ups and downs. You need a strong shoulder to rely on in your Cf care team and above all you need experienced care. My cf...
