Beginning the Journey

[JenNorthWest]

Hi Ladies,

My husband and I have been married for one year and we are discussing trying to conceive in the near future. I have been reading like crazy, talking with my CF docs, and we are looking into carrier testing for my husband.

For a little background, I am 24 years old and have been hospitalized yearly for the past 10 years, usually in the winter. I have worked out intensely 5 days a week for the past 10 years but this past year has been a little frusterating. Coughing more and harder to exercise consistently. My PFTs have been in the mid 70s consistently and I have been trying to get them up. They shoot into the 90s after IVs but a cold usually seems to knock them back into the 70s.

One of my docs just brought up the use of Hypertonic Saline for the first time to me. Have you Moms used it, and/or had fair results? I am on Advair 250/50, Pulmozyme, and Zythromax MWF.

I wanted to get a little feed back on what you Moms or Moms-to-be would advise in our preparation. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Thanks for your time!! I'm new to this website.

Hi Jennifer!

Welcome to the site. I think you will find a lot of info here. You might want to peruse through old posts of the pregnancy forum and I think a lot of your questions will be answered.

HS is fine for pregnancy, as is advair. The other two I am not sure about. I know Zithromax is OK for short use, but I don't know about consistent use.

Everyone here is really open to questions, so feel free to ask.

Good luck on your journey!
