Summary

This study looks at how estrogen and other hormones affect bone development in teenage and young adult women with cystic fibrosis (CF). It has two parts: an observational study that tracks bone health in women using different types of birth control, and a small feasibility study where participants use estrogen skin patches for a year. Researchers will measure bone density, blood markers, and quality of life to see if estrogen therapy is helpful and practical for this group.
