Wow! It's amazing to hear all these stories! It's amazing that we have CF to thank for saving our lives! Who would have ever thought that?!

lightNlife - thanks for your comment!

fondreflections - I'm so sorry to hear yours wasn't caught sooner and you suffered much more. I hope everything goes well with your surgery and you can have kids someday soon! Best of luck!

I had the same scenario when I was 8 - constant stomach aches - high fever. Dr. said it was a bowel obstruction and I was sent home with enemas. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif" border="0"> Returned 4 hours later when my fever spiked, had emergency surgery. Removed what was the size of a man's fist from my stomach - my appendix encased in a shell (if you will). They had to remove part of my small intestine since it had encapsulated around some of it as well. Dr's never related it to CF though. Interesting!

Thank you, Tanya! This lap is really my ONLY chance as far as conceiving naturally without any other means of assistance is concerned. However, I'm only going to continue trying to conceive for the rest of the year. After that, I am ready to accept either being childless or child via adoption.

I would like to adopt. However, my husband goes back and forth. He is just worried about me and the taking care of a child, in the long run. The other thread currently running is quite interesting.

I was so excited in the beginning; however, the longer it's taking, the more I'm backing off. Jake backed off long ago. In the beginning, he would be after me, "Are you late? Maybe you should take a test." He'd wait like a little kid on the sofa waiting for me to come down the stairs only to be disappointed...All the excitement is near to 0 after waiting nearly 3 years...

That's why I'm not sure what's going to happen. My FEV1 is 70% so I don't intend on hanging on to the dream that much longer. I don't know. I, myself, am confused. Kind of at the crossroads.

With the upcoming surgery, my GYN doctor will be able to remove most of the scar tissue and adhesions from both my prior abdominal surgeries. They will also be able to remove any endometriosis, if found. Will it be enough is the million dollar question??? I would have an increased fertility rate for about 6 months. So like I said, I'll keep trying until the end of the year...

As far as I know, CF didn't save my life when I had appendicitis, but it definitely played a role. I guess I was on so many abx that the progression of my appendix infection was "abnormal." I wasn't really having many of the traditional symptoms of appendicitis, but I did have pain in my lower right stomach and a fever. Pretty sure someone else on this board also from NYC got their appendix out the same night I did. Our doctors actually called each other from our respective hospitals to discuss because it was so strange to have two CF women in their 20s both suffering from appendicitis with abnormal symptoms on the same night. I would definitely be willing to believe that CF is connected to appendix infection!
