    Who conceived naturally?

    Hi Marisa - can I ask, do you know your mutations? I started taking Vitex recently & I am seeing amazing results to my cycle... I am hoping this does the trick for us. Thanks!

    Who conceived naturally?

    Hey Scarlett- (I knew you conceived naturally!) :))) I have charted my cycles Since we started trying. I think it puts too much stress on me, so now I'm trying not to "over think" it. As for mucinex, I found it was causing blood in my lung mucus. So for now I have switched to Robitussin. My...

    Who conceived naturally?

    *****forgot to ask****** anyone who has CF with a child: do you take enzymes? I have the pancreatic problems associated to CF, BUT, I am able to gain weight with taking enzymes.

    port questions

    Hey jeana - I have had my port for 3 years now & honestly it's still tender even when I just touch it. I'm not sure if everyone is like this, but, I'm so used to it by now. Unless I'm thinking about it, I don't even notice it! Give it time <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"...

    Who conceived naturally?

    Hi everyone, We have been ttc for a year & a couple of months. We have tried 6 months of Clomid & an IUI with Clomid. Nothing has worked. I am just curious, how many CF women actually conceived naturally? No fertility drugs, no IUIs. Also, has anyone used Vitex or any natural supplements to...

    Bleed lungs with exercising?

    Hey! I recently had my 2nd lung embolization in December. Since then I have felt amazing & I have been working out 5-6 times per week. But last week, I noticed some blood in my mucus as I was running on the treadmill. Has this happened to anyone else? Am I doing too much too soon? But on the...

    Question for CF Moms

    Hey Mary! I have been trying for 9 months. I have been seeing a fertility specialist & have been on Clomid for 3 months. At first I don't think my cycle was very regular. Which is common for women but i'm starting to think extremely common for CF women. I have had all the tests run (& my husband...

    A little concerned...

    Hey Sarah - I'm not sure I have mentioned this but CindyLou is right... I would chart your BBT too. The couple of times i used an OPK i got a positive but then didn't even ovulate until like 4 days later. (i knew bc of my charting) Sometimes your body will try to ovulate but for other reasons...
