Is there anything anyone with cf can have done beside in-vitro to help them conceive a child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Cystic fibrosis is a condition that may cause the blackage of the fallopian tubes and thus may inhibit normal fertility. CF however, has a wide variation in how it may impact each individual and may allow for normal conception. I have several patients that have conceived without any art. Ectopic pregnancy is a significant risk and genetic counseling is a must as this is an inhereted condition.

I have cystic fibrosis and am having trouble conceiving a baby due to thick cervical mucus. Any help?
During my preconception visit my dr. was really pushing genetic screening for before we start conceiving. We have no family history of genetic disorders and she said nothing stands out (other than cystic fibrosis since we are both Caucasian). ?
A friend just had the Cystic Fibrosis gene mutation blood panel done for 23 most common plus 9 rare mutations of CF, 32 total, all negative. Does this mean he is CF free and can safely have a child? I'm curious as to what these results actually mean?
