My friend had a little girl 2 weeks ago and today @ her 2 week check up she was told that the CF test they do in the hospital @ birth came back positive and they are re-testing and she will have results in 3 weeks. They also told her there is a high “false positive” rate.
Has anyone heard of this?
I am a CF carrier, and had to go to genetic counseling when my husband and I were in infertility treatment (he ended up not being a carrier) and never heard of this screen on infants…do they do it to them all? Are there false positives?? I just want to ease her mind.

I have been informed by my doctor that I am a carrier for Cystic Fibrosis. We aren’t going to have my husband tested until after this baby (since we wouldn’t have terminated anyway and his new insurance will cover more of the cost) but we definitely will at some point just to be mindful of future pregnancies… I was just wondering if anyone else has been told they are a carrier

I want to become an egg donor, but I am a carrier of the Cystic Fibrosis gene will that make it so I can’t be an egg donor? No one in my family has ever had it, so I was just wondering if just being a carrier of the gene would make it so I could not.

If you answer this please KNOW the answer, don’t just guess.

My twin sister has cystic fibrosis, I’m a carrier of it but I don’t have it myself. My boyfriend is getting tested next week to see if he is a carrier of it too (he’s of european decent). What are the chances that my baby would have it?

Before i begin having children, I would like to be tested to see if I am a carrier for cystic fibrosis. The gene is in my husband’s family, so before getting pregnant I would like to know if I am as well

Cystic Fibrosis? If your a carrier, some dont say but does it affect you if your just a carrier?
