So, obviously I have CF, but I havent had a genetic class in forever. In order for my kids to have CF doesnt my husband HAVE to be a carrier, and even then its only a 50% chance our kids will have CF? If hes not a carrier, then my kids have NO CHANCE Of having CF, right? But theyll be carriers?? this is that "punnet square" problem right? lol. Dont worry, im not going to have kids based off what you say, we're scheduling an appointment with a genetic counselor at some point, Im just curious now.. hehe

Yes, you are correct. Since CF is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, the child has to inherit a mutated gene from BOTH parents.
It's vital for the partner of someone with CF to get the most comprehensive genetic testing available (i.e. Ambry Amplified w/ deletions & duplications) to be as certain as possible of their status in order to be able to make the most informed choice possible, of course. Some people will play the odds, others will not for many different reasons- but you can't make the best decision unless you know to the best of your ability what you are dealing with.

If your husband has the cf gene the risk is not 50% more like 90%. But yes it's two genes make cf. One gene from mother equals carrier.
I have CF also and my daughter has the gene not the disease.

If he is a carrier then it is 50% chance of having a baby with CF and 50% that it is a carrier. It is either one or other they will have it or be a carrier. If you do that square thing you can figure it out with cc x Cc . I was also always told if the husband was a carrier then the baby really has a great chance of having CF too.
