Infertility in females

Question
Are there percentages known about how common decreased fertility is in women with a mild form of CF?
Answer
Dear ECORN-user,

It is known that decreased fertility is a problem of women who suffer from CF. Often this will concur with their general nutritional status. To what degree the fertility is diminished in somebody with a mild form of CF is thus not totally obvious. There are no reliable statistics on this. It seems logical since these persons usually have better nutritional state that there is not a lot of impairment of fertility in women with a mild form of CF.

Kind regards,
