If you are a carrier for Cystic Fibrosis is it possible you have cystic fibrosis?

No. You can be a carrier of the CF gene and be healthy. If you have Cystic Fibrosis it would more than likely show in early childhood. Both your parents would have to be a carrier of the gene for you to be born with Cystic Fibrosis. When two carriers of the CF gene parent a child together there is a 1 in 4 chance of the child being born with Cystic Fibrosis.

no because you don't have the other gene.
