As a CF Male, my wife and I have recently gone through the whole IVF process and now have two 7 month old twin girls. If you have any questions feel free to ask, it's one of those things that can be hard to find info on.

Thank you Julie, I did read the info on your website.... We haven't started trying, and I haven't been checked to see if Im a Cf carrier yet... I am getting a new gynecologist, and while trying to find one asked an office about getting tested to see if I am a carrier and was told we don't check for it until you are pregnant. Which I told the lady was not gonna work, that I need to have it done before hand. I honestly believe that not very many people understand enough about CF. My bf had to get a primary Dr, in addition to his CF dr, and that Dr was asking him questions about CF because he did not know about it, its frustrating.
I have 2 children already, from a previous relationship, but we would love to try to have our own. I feel like we are perfect for eachother, and he is perfect with my children, but if we can have one, we would both love to. I just don't know if it's possible without IVF, I wish and hope that will be...But I guess we've got to try first and see...IVF kinda scares me...and I don't know if we could financially handle it.

If ins. doesn't cover IVF, then you can always apply for the grant on www.inciid.org It's a lengthy process but so worth it for a cycle of IVF coverage.

Did you ask the front office staff about the CF CARRIER testing? (Make sure you say carrier testing). I would recommend talking to the nurse or dr. about it at your appointment. Don't waste your time with askign that of the receptionist, or even MA...they are pretty clueless about taht kind of stuff-unfortunately.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at any time.
