Does Trikafta® increase the chance of pregnancy for women with cystic fibrosis? Can men regain their fertility on modulators? I recently had a candid chat with the chair of the Women's Health Research Working Group to find out the answers to these and other questions about reproductive health.

As I listened to the second plenary for this year's North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference, I couldn't help but think of my own experience with CFTR modulators and the positive effects that they have had on my health.
Having been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as a baby, I grew up thinking I had an early expiration date. Once I started taking Kalydeco®, my health completely changed for the better. For the first time, I had a solid future ahead of me, and I needed to prepare for it.
I had to stop taking Orkambi® because my body couldn't handle it. I'm having a different -- better -- experience with Symdeko™.
I was recently reminded of what my life used to be like before Trikafta® — and I immediately felt guilty for forgetting. But maybe it’s OK to let go of the past and embrace a future of hope.
