We live in the information age, your son will likely learn of his likely infertility as soon as he takes an interest in learning about his cf. My suggestion, inform him at a young age (however, I believe 7 is a bit young yet, maybe 10). I think it is more important he learn of this information from you or his physician before he ends up reading it somewhere else. I guess I can only emphasize to treat him about safe practices and the consequences of not acting safely, but that could come a little later. Just my perspective. I was taught at a young age about the reproductive problems, and I'm glad I learned it early instead of being shocked by the knowledge at a later age.

With both me and my brother the fertility issues were introuduced just as a symptom of cf. I dont think we understood it all, but we knew and it wasn't a huge suprise when we got older. It didn't scar either of us for life, and we arn't going out and having crazy sex because we won't get pregnant.

It was presented as "some people with cf have fertility issues and you'd have to be tested" and then we were told to ask our doctor about treatment options if we wanted.

We were told before we did sex ed in school, but we have hippy parents and knew most of it anyway<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0"> I, personally am glad i knew early. I've always considered getting/staying pregnant something that goes with cf.

Mark had to learn about the CF related infertility from his doctor, and to this day, I see that he still harbors some negative feelings towards his mom because she didn't tell him.

I think this age is too young, but in the early teen years, I feel that you DO need to let him know.

Back in my day STD's were nearly non existent in the hetero teen world. I knew I was sterile, so after I lost my virginity, I knew there was one good thing about having CF <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">


Now a days, ya gotta wrap it no matter what though. I kind of feel bad for the CF boys of this era...Ruins all the fun <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
