Hey, sorry for the extreme delay in response to your question. Life with a baby is very hectic, and doesn't leave me a lot of time to read the forums here! To answer your question, mmurray, I had CFRD prior to conception. As a result I was really closely monitored by Maternal Fetal Medicine...

Hi, I rarely post, but I'm a lurker. I felt I had to respond because I am a DDF508 and I conceived naturally. The first month I started charting my ovulation I conceived, so it was shockingly easy. For me I think it had to do with weight. I had recently gained some ten lbs right before I got...

Hi. I haven't been here in a while, probably over a year now, but I still follow this site sometimes. I just wanted to chime in and say to Heather, I know that BCMH extends coverage to adults with CF. I was in the program when I lost my insurance. Of course they may have changed their policy...
