CF test, has anyone had one?
| Mon, 09-15-2003 - 1:23pm |
Hi Ladies,
I had my annual "well woman" checkup last week and while I was there, my doctor said that he was recommending a CF (cystic fibrosis) test for his TTC patients. Apparently, it can be done during the same blood draw for an also recommended cholesterol test (ack! I am turning 30 in two months!)... He said that the test can determine whether or not I was a CF carrier and that if I am, then they can test DH to see if he is and we would know whether or not our potential little one was at risk for CF prior to conception...
Has anyone heard of this test?
Just curious...

I am so glad that someone else has heard of this too! Glad to hear that your DH is not a carrier too!
Thanks and ((((HUGS))))!

Thanks so much for the information and your dear sister and her DS and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Poor little baby to have to be hospitalized so much and your poor sister for going through all of that with her precious little one--hugs and love to them both.
Your post is very valuable to me and I will definitely get tested.
LOTS of hugs and love to you,
Shelley
