    Negative - Postive CF on TV

    Ladies Only - Your Cycle and Your CF

    I don't know if this has already been done or not, but I was wondering about what all you ladies on here go through during that time of the month. I know that my lung function drops, and my stomach cramps so bad that I can't do my vest - the movement just kills me. Jenna, 25 w/ CF
