Hi everyone, For the past few weeks I've been feeling a flare up coming on. I kept holding off and holding off, thinking my cycle of Tobramycin would do the trick. It's been 3 weeks and I'm still coughing more frequently and harder, so I finally called the doctor. We're going to try...

Hi, If anyone goes to Baystate Hospital in Springfield, MA, could you please respond or PM me? Thanks!

Hi, Just wondering if anyone goes to Baystate Hospital in Springfield, MA? Could you please response or PM me. Thanks!

Hi everyone, Just wondering what all you people with CF do when you start into a cough attack at an inopportune time or when it's completely awkward. For example, you might be having a conversation with someone and then it hits and you can't finish your sentence for another 4 minutes until you...

I had an OB check up today and everything went great. I only gained 1 lb since last month, but they're not concerned yet. They set my goal weight gain to be 15 lbs for the entire pregnancy. That seems like a bit of a low goal for me; I was expecting to at least hit 20 lbs. But maybe they set...

Hi, Candice's post on baby kicking got me wondering....at what gestation did everyone first feel movement? I am so anxious to start feeling something (on the outside or inside). I know I might have several weeks before I notice anything though. First-time pregnant moms usually don't feel...

Hi everyone, Just wondering what could've happened here... I was waiting to be seen by my OB when my SO noticed my fingernails were tinged a little purple. I have never noticed that color before, but I agreed that they did look a little "un-pink". I'm sort of confused because I would...

Hi, Just wanted to share a couple pics from Landon's first birthday yesterday. All day I just couldn't believe a whole year has gone by already! We had a great day. He got a rocking horse from us; although, he would rather talk and pet the horse than ride it right now, but I'm sure that will...

Just talking out loud... I currently work full time in an office full of women. There have been a lot of girls that have come and gone since I've been there. When I first started at my job, there were only a few of us and we were very close. We did everything together inside and outside of...

Hi everyone, I had my first OB appointment today. Things went really good. I was there 2 1/2 hours though for my consultation...and they wanted me there longer! I met with the chief physician of the high-risk department. He was really great. He told me that he's had lots of CF patients...

Oh geez. I'm doing my CPT this morning and coughing...and my little one usually joins me in the room. Well, starting just a couple days ago, he has begun to mimic my coughing. He used to fake cough when he was like 4-6 months old, which is normal for that age because it's a new sound to them...

I've been starting to use YouTube lately - trying out a few home videos. Just thought I'd share a video of my son that was taken last week. <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S51pFz9g9rE">CLICK HERE</a> <hr> Leah 26 w/CF, 10 weeks pregnant...

Hi, I was just wondering what all you pregnant women do for exercise. I normally play organized sports (soccer and softball) pretty much year-round. I had to slow down a bit last year due to us having an infant. I got a babysitter most of the time so that I could still play in my games...

Oh my goodness! I am a walking mess of hormones lately. At least I hope it's hormones because I've been crying for no reason and I have doubts about the pregnancy. I am so worried that something is going to happen to the baby, especially since the nurse mentioned the whole short cervix thing...

Hi everyone, We got to see our little peanut on ultrasound yesterday for the first time. The nurse told me that I'm only 6w2d right now and that's because they recalculated my EDD because my IUI was 21 DPO. I guess that pushes the EDD back a week or something (even though I was under the...

Hi, I was just wondering if your OB/GYNs have ever said anything about not lifting heavy things when you are pregnant. I am thinking that it's almost impossible for me not to lift because I watch my son by myself and I have to carry him all the time (about 25 lbs). I've done some research...

Hi girls, I got the good news this morning by home preg test that I am pregnant! I couldn't wait to share the good news with you all because you have been such a great help to me over the last few months. I can't wait to learn more from the ones who have been or are pregnant now and get to...

Hi everyone, I've been doing my OPK for a couple months now, and both read positive on day #16. Now I'm on day #17 and still nothing. I'm already getting worried that I won't ovulate this month. My cycles are not regular (which is not good already), but it seemed I was ovulating at the same...

Hi everyone, I had a positive OPK today!!! So tomorrow I will be going in for my first try of IUI. I am soooo excited! Anyone else on here that has used IUI - did it work the first time or did it take several tries to get pregnant? WISH ME LUCK!!! Leah 26 w/CF, mom to non-biological son...

Hi everyone, Just a question for all you CF mothers out there....what are your CF mutations? I know some of you have them after you sign your name and it seems like there are a lot of different mutations that I have never heard of before. Are there any homozygous DF508's out there? Thanks...
