My bf has cystic fibrosis ....... chances?


my bf has cystic fibrosis and we have been having sex for a while with out protection and i was wounder what are the chances he can get me preg. i know they aren't very high, if at all but i was just woundering

Sweetie, CF in no way affects SPERM! It is a pancreas and lung disease. And if you do get pregnant unless you are a carrier of the CF gene, you won't have a baby with CF.

Having CF has ZERO to do with getting you pregnant. He will eventually die, unfortunately, and you will be left to raise the child. Stop having sex.

You can get pregant. Check out this website: http://www.pulmozyme.com/patient/u_12_pu...

It just depends on how good his sperm is and how the timing is. Cystic Fibrosis patients become parents all the time

I think the other people haven't realised that CF sufferers (like my self) are sterile. Yes, there IS a chance that you could get pregnant, but it is VERY small.

Apparanently, 97% of men with CF are infertile.

This is because they are missing the 'vas deferens' (or it is blocked, I think actually its blocked).

Wiki has a lot of info. Hope that helps

"An adult male with CF should have relatively normal sex hormones and normal external sex organs...However, it is estimated that 98% of males with CF are infertile due to the absence or incompletely formed vasa deferentia." (Beyond Lungs 2006)
