Actually most men with CF ARE infertile if you want to be medically correct. Sure there are generally many ways that a man with CF can father a child, but that's not exactly what we are talking abou here. We are discussing whether or not she should let her child know that this is a possibility...

My two cents?
Be honest with him, like you want. That's my favorite way to go. Haha. But I would wait on it until he gets the rest of the sex talk. When he gets the birds, bees, pregnancy, condoms, STDs, HIV, blah blah, I'd throw that personal piece in there. Most CF men (I think it's 98%?) are infertile. The sperm is in there most times, it just can't get out due to lack of tubing, blah blah. Many CF men are having biological children through IVF procedures, blah blah.
Your husband does have a good point, though. So be sure to hit home that some CF men can get a woman pregnant naturally (there's at least one CF father on here who did it the natural way -- I forget names), so he had still better be careful.

I agree with you and not your husband - he needs to be informed - there are many other reasons besides a possible lack of vas deferins to practice safe sex. <b>He should be given all general sex education information first, then (during the same conversation) information specific to him.</b>
<u>People misunderstood your question and started discussing the age of 7 years old -- you never said anything about wanting feedback on what age </u>- only to tell or not to tell...... <b>so here is my input</b>:
Whatever age/time frame you choose to have the sex education talk should be the very same time you educate him about how things will likely (not) function for him. You can explain what the vas deferines do in the case of a non-CF body and what happens in the case of most boys/men with CF - then go on to explain how until he is tested you do not know for sure if he is one of the 98% of men without vas deferines or one of the 2% with vas deferines.
I suggest going through a good educational book together with him (and any other children you have at the right age) - I read (out loud) with both of my kids <i>"The What's Happening to my body book for boys"</i> and <i>"The What's Happening to my body book for girls"</i> and gave them each their own copy. They both learned all about their own sex as well as the opposite sex and had their book to refer back to if and when they had more questions. If you are interested it both books are written by Lynda Madaras.
My son wasn't diagnosed until he was 18 years old - we actually referred back to this book at that time to explain where the vas deferines are and what their function is to explain that he most likely did not have them but does have his sperm, should he ever want to go the in-vitro route.

LOL, that's the most horrible, yet hilarious thing I've heard all night.
I would have to agree with what most are saying. 7 is WAY to young. I don't think I learned about sex until right before I hit puberty. I'm glad I learned then because I didn't know the "Gross details" until I needed to know to help me understand the changes I was going through.
About the infertility thing... that's rough. I found out I think when I was 19 and it hit me pretty hard. I had wanted a wife and kids so badly for years by then.
Maybe someday when he's old enough to sit and talk... and comprehend... maybe sit down with him on the computer and just STUDY CF together, let him learn about his disease, what makes what happen and why he does tharapies and what each medication does and let him learn it all on his own, with you there by his side.
Just a thought.

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"></end quote></div>
LOL, that's the most horrible, yet hilarious thing I've heard all night.
I would have to agree with what most are saying. 7 is WAY to young. I don't think I learned about sex until right before I hit puberty. I'm glad I learned then because I didn't know the "Gross details" until I needed to know to help me understand the changes I was going through.
About the infertility thing... that's rough. I found out I think when I was 19 and it hit me pretty hard. I had wanted a wife and kids so badly for years by then.
Maybe someday when he's old enough to sit and talk... and comprehend... maybe sit down with him on the computer and just STUDY CF together, let him learn about his disease, what makes what happen and why he does tharapies and what each medication does and let him learn it all on his own, with you there by his side.
Just a thought.
