Just wondering, Im 23 now and have never really been on birth control. Just wondering if I decide to have a baby what would be the first step? I know I cant get pregnant with just me and my man, I know I would have to see some kinda doctor. Im sure it will be some big bucks to do. My boyfriends mom keeps pushing us to try to have kids and the boyfriend only tells her, Kims broken mom. I do feel like there will still be a chance someday. When im ready of course.

First of all, although female CFers often have more difficulty getting pregnant, this doesnt mean all need outside intervention.
As to the first step....IMHO Marriage (that is just my opinion tho) then having your BF tested to see if he is a carrier. Secondly talk to your CF doctor & make sure you are on meds that are safe while TTC & your health is stable enough to start.

Hello, as for marrige, totally not thinking of that at all. Im not even sure if I ever want to get married, Im just not into the idea of marrige. Im sure sounds crazy, but its just not me. My boyfriend has been tested and is not a carrier. Im not thinking of having kids now just kinda wondering because I do not believe im "broken." Kids are in the far future for me, im just starting to warm up to the idea of someday having a kid. Just kinda wanted o see what other people say and there opinion of being able to have a kid one day. And Im not on any medicine. I only run and play sports and do my vest as my medicine. And thats doctors orders, I have only had a staph infection in my lungs awhile back so right now inhaled medicine (ie:toby) will do nothing for me.

Ok, I'm going to be a bit blunt since you asked; if this offends you (or anyone else) I'm sorry.
*You are 23
*have CF but are healthy and claim to not take any of the meds most adults w/CF do
*You haven't thought about having kids, yet someone agreed to test your boyfriend for CF (who paid for the test as insurance would not).
*you express a belief you are not 'broken', but appear to have little or no clue how to go about getting pregnant
Based upon this, it is my clear opinion that there are some major gaps in story and in your process to decide to have a child.
To get pregnant, you would need to see both your CF doctor and then a specialist called a reproductive endocrinologist. They could assist you in determining if pregancy is a possible and advisable.
In the meantime, I would strongly suggest you spend some time thinking about how this works. You are 23 and single with a disease that shortens life to the 30's regularly. Who is going to raise your child if you don't see 45? As your health declines, who will care for you & your child if you don't intend to marry?
Raising a child is not like buying a car, especially given the special aspects of CF. Please step back and think some about what you are even considering before bringing a life into this world...
Just want to say one last thing, I know that these are questions the mom's with CF on this board agonize over before deciding to carry a child so don't think they are unreasonable.
