Up to 18 months: If you have normal menstrual cycles, your cystic fibrosis carrier status likely has little effect on your fertility. However, it can take a normal couple up to 18 months to achieve a conception, even when everything is perfectly normal. Because you are a CF carrier (and your partner is not), there is a 50% chance your children will also be carriers of the CF gene.

85% by one year: Chance for conception in couples trying to get pregnant is ~20% per month - ~50% of couples pregnancy by 6 months, ~85% pregnant by one year. Cf carrier status is usually not a factor in trying to conceive (exception may be if the male partner has no sperm due to congenital absence of the vas deferens, which is associated with cf).
