IVF/PGD is a good option to consider if you can find a way to afford it. When we didn't know if our daughter Amelia had CF we worried. It was very hard to wait on that news, I felt anxious and cried a lot.

I just want to balance this thread out a little...
I know many, many CFers who have siblings that do NOT have CF. It really is a personal decision, and most here will support you regardless of whichever decision you choose.
My personal opinion was not to try to have a child IF my husband was a carrier, but that was OUR decision. However, I try my hardest to respect other decisions whether I agree or not.
This very topic has been addressed many times in the adult section and usually gets locked...
One thing to consider is that CF siblings have a harder time maintaining a "normal" relationship. For example IF one sibling gets MRSA or Cepacia, how can you prevent the other sibing from contacting it - moreso if they are young and live together...My sister and I had gone through that for the past six years...I got MRSA six years ago and only saw here during the holidays during that time to avoid passing it onto her...That worked up until now...She was diagnosed with MRSA two weeks ago...We didn't live together once I was diagnosed with MRSA, thank God...However, what would you do if you had two younger siblings??? It's just something to think about...

Dont stress out to much yet. I have a friend who's daughter was born jan 7th and she didnt start her cycle untill last month. Sometimes it just takes awhile for things to get back to normal.
As far as the CF jsut take one day at a time. I am the one with cf here, we are doing fertility treatments and are on the adoption waiting list to try and have our first child. There is a reason for everything and we may not know it now but we will later on.
Stress can play a big factor. I was 2 days late this cycle and I am always on time and I know it was from the stress of a friend passing. It was the hardest thing b/c we were hoping that it didnt come but me hoping deff caused me to stress more. I know its not easy at all but the best thing to do is to get your mind off it. Trust me I know its hard, nick tells me that every 2ww and I want to punch him <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
