CF men and women CAN have children. I know of 2 men wcf who have had

sperm removed from their testicles with a minor surgical procedure

and this can be used to inseminate the woman. So it is possible.

And I would maybe send a note to this girl's mom just explaining this

to her. She can ask ANY infertility dr and they will say the same

thing.

My daughter's doc told me that 95% of men with CF are infertile. that leaves 5%
