Thanks for the welcome! And thanks for the support everyone has offered without even realizing it. There is so much scary information on the internet and this forum presents and accurate and hopeful view of the realities of CF. If my husband is a carrier and we both pass on the gene, there will definitely be difficulties. But already having a support system in place is such a blessing! I'm doing much better about waiting on my husband's test results since reading this site. Thanks to everyone who shares their stories so strangers like me can benefit!

I'm breathing a cautious sigh of relief. My husband's test results came back that he is NOT a carrier for CF! However, I am aware that the test run on him was only for the 23 most common mutations. For right now, I'm hoping for the best. Interesting thing though...when I told my older brother that I'm a carrier (thought he might want to know as he may also be a carrier) he told me that his 6 year old was given a sweat test when she was one because of her failure to thrive. The test was negative, and she hasn't had any other symptoms that would lead her doctors to further investigate CF.
Were most people on this forum tested for their carrier status when pregnant? I had no idea the test was even going to be run, so when I got the news that I'm a carrier, I was quite shocked!
