With the development and widespread use of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators, people with CF are living healthier and longer lives. Thus, more people with CF are considering reproduction and parenthood. In this session, a man with CF will provide his perspective on fertility and parenting in the setting of CF. Providers will then summarize available data on the impact of pregnancy and parenthood on health for people with CF as well as considerations for infant exposure to CFTR modulators during pregnancy and lactation.
