Can CF patients have children?

Hello,
I will make it brief but I have two children. A boy (age 20) and a girl (age 22). The girl has two children a boy (age 3) and a girl (almost 2). Everyone tested okay and does not have CF.

I was told inadvertantly by my parents that the doctors (in the 1970s) didn't know what was wrong with me but stated that I probably wouldn't live past my mid-twenties. Well.....the self-declared Gods were wrong. In February 2007 I "celebrated" my 48th birthday.

So we sometimes can have children and sometimes can really tick off the "experts" by surviving. I was only diagnosed in November of 2006. The reason it took so long was they never considered CF because I was STILL ALIVE!

Later I found out how little knowledge many general practioners have about CF. There are quite a few of us "older" folks now because treatment has improved and the chances of living until they crack the gene therapy isn't all that bad. Take heart but be careful nonetheless.

Deep breath for us all,
