How much mucus if any do you cough up?!

I have a very hard time coughing up any mucus even for a test. does any eles have this issues becuase If CF makes mucus so thick then it would seem to me that coughing it up would be hard to do if at all...

I get CF mucus in other parts of my body like with my period and in my stools and sometimes I vomit it up also.

i hate it when the doctor asks me to guess how much sputum i cough up every day. it is too gross to think about. anyway, i probably cough up anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 cup. it might go a little outside that range when i'm feeling really good or really bad.

i definitly wouldn't cough up near as much as i do (scary to think about!!) if it weren't for HS, vest, exercise, and whatever else i do.

How much mucus do I cough up?
None.. I know its really bad... I do Huff Coughs after my treatments when I remember.
When I throw up a lot of it is mucus. At the doctors it's so hard to cough.. but I make sure I have something because I am not going to let them stick a thing down my throat. Ehk!

Next to nothing <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> I always feel like I am the mimority on this. I have ALWAYS had this problem no matter what I do. I use the accapella after the 3% and I do my nebs before a shower and that loosens me up. I can feel it in there but I can never get it to actually come out. If I dod get some out it is like maybe a teaspoon a day, a tablespoon if I am feeling extra junky. And that is only if I can get something out. Most days its nothing!
