Starting A Family NEW

Starting a family can present unique challenges.

CF can affect fertility, particularly in men, and means that women with CF may need to consider their timing or approach to conception.

The HSE has a Fertility Treatment Scheme that can help cover the cost of fertility treatments if you qualify. This helps make fertility treatments easier to access and is worth looking into first if you're thinking about becoming a parent. You  can find information on the HSE fertility pathway website.  You can also download an information sheet below.

In this section, you can find information and supports to help you plan your journey.
