Is There a Way to See if I’m a Cystic Fibrosis Carrier?
A question asked by Blessed with a Boy on 11/21/10: Is there a way to see if I’m a Cystic Fibrosis carrier?
I’m trying to get pregnant and my sister has 1, possibly 2 children with Cystic Fibrosis. Her doctor has told me that I could also be a CF carrier. Is there a way to get tested for that? It would just be a little comfort, knowing in advance. Also, would a doctor be willing to do that testing?

Get the genetic test from your doctor. They’ll test your blood or saliva to see if youre a carrier.

go to the doctor and ask them if there is a way…they know stuff
your dr should test you for the cf gene.my son and daughter are both carriers and all my close relatives have been tested , i have one grandson with cf and we really don’t want any more children with terrible illness, so please get tested before getting pregnant
