Welcome to the forum!
I agree with what Allie and Jazzysmom said, but I'm in disagreement with what sakasuka says about children.
I don't see it as a selfish thing if the woman loves you enough to want an offspring from you, despite a CF'rs unknown lifespan. If the conception problem and single parenting situation is basically all understood and figured out, I don't see where selfishness comes into play. Besides, whether the child is adopted, from a doner, or from the CF'r, either way, having a child would still mean making plans for a single parent in the future...advice I will be heeding when my wife asks me again about tests and such!
Good luck with how things go, I know it's a touchy subject among future couples, but something to "hash-out" before marriage.
BTW, an added point, I'm sure the woman in question wants a child because she loves you, not because she wants "cute babies", right?! That's where I don't see it as "selfish".
Reason why I bring this one up is because that's the train of thought my ex had--she only wanted "cute babies" and having any love for me was not in the formula!! I see that as not only "selfish", but just a hint as to how short the marriage life will be (based on experience, of course).
