Many people think Cystic Fibrosis just impacts upon your lungs, however it can impact upon every aspect of an individuals body including their fertility.
I am feeling beyond blessed to announce that after 19 months of doctors and hospital appointments, 1 operation for me, 1 round of #ICSI (the form of IVF we required), 14 home injections, a trip to theatre and a general anaesthetic for my wife, our little miracle is due in October 2019 π«β€οΈ
I am so grateful that I found someone who is willing to spend their life with me despite the set backs I may impose upon theirs due to my CF . Seeing the impact infertility had upon my wife broke my heart, however I am beyond happy that our dream has become true and our family is now complete!
I can now die happy, feeling like I have actually beaten CF! Growing up I was aware of the facts that I may not survive until adulthood; however the reality is completely different to those facts. My life is more fulfilled despite my CF then I could have ever imagined, and to say that I will soon become a Daddy is something I never imagined would actually happen.
For anyone else fighting Cystic Fibrosis, or infertility please never give up on hope; amazing things happen every day. To find out more about what fertility treatments entail take a look at our video which documents our journey through. To find the video click on the YouTube link, thank you
