A member asked:
What is the probablity of a woman with cystic fibrosis getting pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually good: In women with cystic fibrosis, vaginal mucus is often thicker, making it more difficult for the sperm to travel and for fertilization to take place. It often takes longer for women with cystic fibrosis to become pregnant, although this in no way affects the pregnancy itself or the fetus (85% of couples conceive within the first 12 months after stopping contraception). Ivf is also an option.
