Hi, I am curious as to COBRA for continuation of health benefits. I am currently employed by the medical college and I work at a children's hospital. Only full-time employees receive health benefits. Part-time does not. I work a variety of shifts, mostly 15 hour nights. I have been there for 4...

Warning This is a vent and is exacerbated by the loss of Ellie who left her husband and 2 young sons... Ok, I am just posting to try and figure out the thought processes of CF women who are pursuing children (or 2nd/3rd children). This is not directed towards anyone in particular. So, what...

Hi, Yeah for me! My cycle came naturally without having to use provera or parsley tea :-) It was CD 35 so that's pretty good for me! I'm going to start clomid tomorrow (CD3-7) and go in on CD 14 for the US. I hope this really does the trick. I was disappointed seeing tiny follicles on the US...

Hey, Didn't know if anyone has long periods like me and if anyone has used parsley to stimulate a period. Thanks, Jenn 31 yo cf

Hi, I am just curious... On CD 15, the RE saw some follicles that were less than 10 mm in size. Told me that I should not plan on having an ovulation cycle due to how small the follicles were. Now, it's CD 18 and I am experiencing loose CM that occasionally gushes out. Do you still have all...

Hi, So I am a bit aggravated at my CF clinic because I called the CF nurse on Wednesday morning, left a message on the main CF nurse's voicemail with a detailed message that I needed new medication ordered and gave my pager number she could reach me at. I am leaving Sunday morning to go to...

my period or a positive test... I figured I was going crazy enough on my own and that I would finally post. I had my first IUI on 1/17. I thought I would be able to hold off until Day 14 (which would be 1/31). Nope, I made it to day 10 (negative) and day 12 (negative). I told myself that I...

Hi, I'm heading soon for my IUI. Was perusing the pregnancy forum and couldn't find information about this specific topic. What do you take when you are in the midst of implanting? Do you take your ADEKs? Is the Vit A amount that concerning in the first 2-3 weeks of a pregnancy? What about...

Hi, I finally surged on a natural cycle. I am scheduled to go into the RE tomorrow for the IUI. I am excited yet nervous at the same time. I didn't expect to get this opportunity this early... I assumed around Feb/March/April I would be doing this. If I conceive, my due date is October...

Hi, I am finally starting another cycle! I'm CD2 with it being a spontaneous cycle. Last cycle, I had to induce with provera so I am very pleased that after 35 days, this new cycle has started. I am curious as to those using metformin. Was it due to PCOS that was diagnosed or presumed? I have...

Hi, So, I have been trying to time my cycles, figure out when ovulation is occurring so I can start my baby plan. About 4 months ago, I had a good cycle where the monitor determined i had a peak fertility period. Since then, it's been downhill... 2 or 3 past cycles with low fertility index on...

Hi, Just wanted to pass on the good news... My sister (w/CF) and her husband are awaiting their son to be delivered. They had to go with a gestational surrogate (using my sister's egg and my brother in law's sperm) in order to conceive this baby. My brother in law tested negative for CF (at...

Hi, I was not going to write a post, but I still am upset and just wanted to vent. I know this is ethically charged. I am a single woman with CF and despite several relationships, I have not found any guy who wants to be with me. I have had a pretty stable CF course with 1-2x hospitalizations...

Hi, My sister with cf has been having difficulties with her current neb machine (i think a pari machine, maybe a duoneb??). It has been taking longer and longer (almost over 1 hour for 2-3 nebs). She and her husband have troubleshot (filter, etc) and nothing seems to be doing the trick. She's...

Hi, I really need some help. I talked with my RE regarding my irregular periods and the fact that I haven't ovulated per my monitor. So, I am doing a provera challenge of 10 mg x5 days. I should have withdrawal bleeding from 1-14 days post-med completion. The RE nurse said that if I didn't have...

Hi, To put it out there, I know a lot about sick babies and children, but have no clue regarding fertility. I am trying to learn regarding ovulation and the hormones, but since I don't do this on a day to day basis, it doesn't stick in my mind. So, I am asking for help regarding this. I am 30...

Hi, First, sorry that this is long. I need advice re breastfeeding and my sister with CF. My sister and her husband are going to be parents of their first child, a son. Their gestational surrogate (biologically related to my sister and brother in law) is due Dec 19, 2008. My sister wants to...

Hi, This may be a stupid question, but I don't want to get held back at security if they don't allow it. I am traveling abroad to Ireland on Friday evening from Chicago. I am sure it is ok, but just wanted to make sure that glucometers are allowed onboard. I would think so related to the need...

Hi, Just wondering if there was anyone going to the 2008 National CF conference that is being held in Orlando, FL at the end of October... Here's the link www.nacfconference.org/documents/Nacfprelimprogram.pdf It looks so neat... LOTS of learning opportunities. I am considering going, but...
