Early signs in pregnancy?

Exactely, that is why I also fear it (PGD) so much! We have also been trying to do it the natural way, but without any luck. So, in many ways I have hopes that the PGD also helps us in that situation...but I know the feeling of not wanting the period....and it comes, and I can imagine it must be even harder when you have gone through all the prior medications etc. But, do not give up! My cousin expereinced that the fetus got stuck (the 5th time) when she changed the medicine she took after the fertilization (I do not know the terminology in this field yet). They do not know if that was the reason to why it went good... but next time it can work for you as well!

Hey everybody,

I was pregnant with a cf affected fetus (double F 508). Right in the 2nd week of my pregnancy I started to get really red eyes. The eye doctor could not understand what it was, as everything seemed ok. It continued to be like this, until the abortion (12 weeks). Now I am wondering if this was a reaction to carrying a sick fetus? Did anyone expereince this as well?

Nope. I got pregnant in my late 30s. Never, ever had a clue that DS had a clue that DS would have CF. No family history. Neither my husband, nor I knew we were carriers of the the delta f508 genes. I had a very, very uneventful, normal pregnancy. I exercised regularly prior to my pregnancy and continued to walk 2-4 miles up until about a week before DS was born. Even the birth was fairly uneventful, though he was a couple weeks earlier than expected about 36 weeks.

Anna,

You didn't offend me in any sense with your thread. I have been dealing with infertility for 2 years.

I have CF and my husband isn't a carrier. For us, we weren't even going to try if he came up a carrier because we didn't want to bring a "sick" child into the world. I wouldn't want to give this disease to my worst enemy yet my own child. It does blow my mind when people try knowing the odds of CF, but I keep my mouth shut. Right now, my husband works with a young couple who jumped into the ring knowing<b> beforehand</b> and now may be pregnant with a child affected by CF. I'm keeping my mouth shut...I'm currently on IVs, and they are asking Jake all kinds of questions. They too have already miscarried one child affected by CF. This is there second pregnancy.

However, it is different here in the United States vs. Norway. Here NOTHING IS PAID FOR AS FAR AS INFERTILITY PROCEDURES ARE CONCERNED!!! That's one of the reasons why so many babies are born with CF here. NOT TOO MANY CAN AFFORD THE PROCEDURES NEEDED TO AVOID CF. I can't afford IVF so I am forgetting the whole thing. Besides that, with CF, I'm not too sure IVF would be a wise decision. Those are just my reasons...

From an economic standpoint, it would cost the US FAR LESS to do a procedure to AVOID CF THAN TAKE CARE OF A CF AFFECTED INDIVIDUAL. I guess the US just can't understand the simple logic of it all...I'm NOT very US "friendly" when it comes to infertility matters, if you haven't noticed that already...It's one of those issues that you don't want to get me started on

Norway is one of quite a couple countries that pays for its citizens to get infertility treatments. I think that is GREAT!!! You are so fortunate to have those options available to you! I wish you the best! <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">
