We are in the same situation except that it is me who has CF. If you go natural and conceive a CF baby you can have a CVS at 8 weeks, get results by 10 weeks and have the choice of terminating. Going through a termination is heartbreaking and you never get over it. You'd have to be 100% certain that it's the right decision.

Your chances of getting a healthy embryo on the first try with IVF process is likely low so you have to consider that when doing financial planning. I think you should have a consult with a fertility clinic to get an idea. There is an organization called inciid that gives IVF grants and you do a little fund raising in return. They have a website.

PM me if you want to know more about what we have been through. I'd be happy to help you guys.

P.S. Amelia is only a carrier.
