But You LOOK Healthy: Mental Health & CF

  • Summary

  • We talk about how modulators are shifting fertility expectations, what male infertility in CF really means, and what the pregnancy boom is telling us. There's also a candid look at sperm retrieval procedures, the under-discussed need for contraception counseling, and why STI prevention still matters—regardless of fertility status.

    If you've ever wondered what CBAVD stands for, this one’s for you. And don’t worry—there was so much good stuff we had to split this episode down the middle. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we tackle menopause, intimacy, hormone therapy, and all the things we really need to be talking about. Do we go off-script a little? Do we even need to answer that?

    CONTENT NOTE: This episode contains candid discussions of sexual and reproductive health in CF, including references to anatomy, intimacy, and fertility.
