    CFers and healthcare jobs. im going into diagnostic medical sonography

    Hey Tamara, <br />I am an RN on a med/surg unit of a hospital. I work usually 3 12-hour shifts/week. I have to say that this is really convenient as opposed to working monday through friday, as it is easier to schedule doctor's appointments and not have to miss work. <br />Another thing that is...

    using hypertonic saline when you have major draining and coughing

    Hey Regina, I normally take HTS daily with my evening treatments (I take Xopenex, and then HTS with the vest). I recently was admitted to the hospital to start a round of IV antibiotics, and my doc decided to hold the HTS while I was in the hospital because I was getting Xopenex and the vest...

    Echogenic bowel on 2nd trimester sonogram

    Hello everyone, I had an 17 week sonogram done today, and everything was normal (we found out we are having a little girl!) except on the report, it mentioned Echogenic bowel. The doc said this is sometimes normal, but can be a marker for CF, Down's syndrome, or several other disorders. We had...

    Really irregular cycles (skipping ovulation) because of sickness?

    Hi Cindy, I can understand how frustrating it is when you are trying to get pregnant and not having luck. My husband and I were TTC'ing for over a year before I finally got pregnant in February. As far as the ovulation kits, I wouldn't 24-48 hours after a positive test. As I see it, it's safer...

    Newborn screening for CF

    Hey everyone! I have been told by several people that when their babies were born, the initial newborn screening showed positive for CF, and after some additional testing, it was showed to be a false-positive, and that the child didn't have CF. Well, I am wondering if it is that common to have a...

    No ovulation?

    Yes, I forgot about the Vitex. I had long cycles, usually around 38-39 days, and I started taking the Vitex, and my next cycle was only 35 days, and then I found out that I had gotten pregnant on that cycle. Whether it was actually the Vitex that did it, or it was just a coincidence, who knows...

    No ovulation?

    Hey Teri, It would make sense that you ovulation would be late this cycle if you were sick earlier in the cycle. One thing that I did and made me feel a lot more certain about when I was ovulating was using the ovulation kits. They are expensive, but for me it was worth it. Also, if you...
