It's the same as Advair, just not in a powder form. It's just a regular aerosol-type. The HFA is for a new version of inhalers that does not contain CFC's.

When I got pregnant with my son my FEV 1's were around 85% and PFT's well above 100%. My husband and I only tried for one month. I never noticed any change in cervical mucus but still conceived easily. Now 2 years later my lung functions still remain the same and we have been trying to conceive #2 for a few months now with no luck. Personally I wouldn't suggest getting pregnant with such low lung functions. You are putting your health at a great risk. After I had my son my lung functions actually were higher than what they were pre-pregnancy, but I have always been a very healthy person with CF. I think the thing that would scare me about having such low lung function is that if i did get pregnant there is a chance that I may only live long enough to see my child as a toddler. I would not want to put my child through the pain of losing a parent at such a young age and never really getting to know you...just some food for thought. I don't want to live long enough to see my son turn 5, I want to live to see him go to college, get a career, and have a family of his own.

In regard to the first one I posted on here...I was going through some very emotional stuff at that time with health...I'm happy to let you and others know on hear, that my lung function has risen up to 54% fev1 as of last week and I wasn't even blowing that hard in the spirometor (not sure on the spelling).
This is really good news for us!
As of next week I will be heading back to badminton to shake up those lungs and do whatever else I can to stay well! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Don't know if many of you on here know I'm a singsong writer...but I've feeling well enough to pick up singing again and am currently working on more of my original songs.
So yay, feeling good right now! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Also my doc now thinks that I may have had a really bad case of asmatha which would explain why I was so sick several months ago. Oh man, wish I'd realised that back then! Duh! Lol
Ashely about your concern in your post above "whether I'll be here for the child after pregnancy"...all I can say to that is, that I have given that a considerable lot of thought time and time again. I've come to the conclusion now, that when all is said in done their are no guarantee's in life especially when your dealing with c.f.
To be honest...I'm pretty much taking it as it comes right now.
As I see it, I feel I just need to give my brain some much needed 'time-out'from thinking about the what if's right now and just enjoy life with hubby who is such a blessing to me.
The fact that I am getting better leaves hope in my heart...miracles do happen. And if God wants us to have a child it'll happen. If it doesn't...well we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. For now I'm just going to enjoy my life and try and be content at what life has already given me.
Thanks for all your posts on here they have been helpful and a big help to me.

Yes, I totally agree, I was just saying if that were me that would be a big fear of mine. I am glad to hear that your lung functions have gone up!

Hey Ashely <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Yes this was a surprise considering I wasn't expecting anything to change with my lung function results! lol
It's a great relief to know that something is finally working for me like the prednisone, so that's positive! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Hope you and Skylar are doing well?
