Why This Program Matters
Family planning with cystic fibrosis can be extremely complicated. Many individuals face medical and personal challenges, including:
- 97–98% of men with CF experience infertility and often require assisted reproductive technology.
- Women with CF may face fertility challenges such as irregular ovulation and increased pregnancy risks.
- Post-transplant patients must consider the impact of medications on pregnancy.
- Concerns about genetic, life expectancy, and parenting with CF.
CF- specific fertility resources are limited. This program helps fill that gap by providing expert guidance and support.
