Toktee: You don't give God dateline my dear,i got married nov 24 last year,have my first kid,it was after the last shiloh that my genotype changed,hope you don't blive me,better do

dominique:

Omg! SS plus any other? Where on earth did you get these figures from. Pls don't mislead others. if you don't have anything meaningful to say, no be by force to comment.

Op with your current situation, the propability of having SS kids is 0.25%, AS 0.5%, AA 0.25%. Means at least one out of four kids will be SS. Could as well be your first. If you and your fiancé willing to spend the bulk of your married lives taking care of a sick child and watching your child suffer, you have my blessings.

baralatie:
let me explain the probability calculation uery wel for u guys:

+'AS' wit 'As'
there are only 3 probable outcomes.i.e.
'AA' , 'AS', 'SS'
Each of the genotype has a probability of occuring at a given selection=0.33(33% that any one can happen not 0.25)

let us move further.u case involved aving 4 kids(op wants 2)

these are probable combination:

+either al 4 kids are 'Aa'

+3 Kids are 'Aa' and 1 'Ss'

+2 kids are 'Aa' and 2 'Ss'

+1 Kid 'Aa' and 3 kid 'Ss'

+4 kids all 'Ss'
that is u av 5 options.using 0.33 as a grad calculate their prob.

But poster case is 2 kids.let us see her options

+2 kids are 'Aa'

+1 kid 'Aa' AND 1 Kid 'As'

+2 kids All 'Ss'
she has 3 options.using 0.33 calculate their prob.

Please guys reconsider u stand.this is not malaria that u go and buy tablet.

Abali1:
I think you are looking at it wrongly. Now see this anology......
AS vs AS
A cross with A = AA
A cross with S = AS
S cross with A = AS
S cross with S = SS
That gives you 0.25% probability in every pregnancy that may occur.
Your 0.33% analogy is wrong.

baralatie:
let us use ur factor
what is the prob dat
+all 4 are not 'Ss'

+all 4 are 'Ss'

+only 3 'AA'

+Only 3 'Ss'

+only 1 'AA'

+önly 1 'SS'

Abali1:
Bia......I no dey follow you drag mathematics on Christmas day.

baralatie:
lol
i do pray God should help in discovering a meaningful cure for al 'Ss' gen
Merry Xmas!

n.oxide:


I'll believe you when you said there was an error in one of your genotype test

Toktee: I SAID THAT TO A BELIEVER NOT TO MUHAMEDIAN OR ARTHIS,SO,I DONT ASK 4 UR OPINION OK.

Your right. May I add that in reality it could be only the 0.25% that manifests. My grandparents where AS, had 6 kids and lost them all before their 2nd year of life. My mum is the only survivor because she is AS.

Baby mama:

Thank you
I said earlier,my classmate in college and her husband have three kids I believe and all of them are SS
I hope this poster is assimilating all these hard truths

Abali1:
Baby mama,
some people like to gamble with Fate, thinking they have Faith.
That is why I always say, WHY PUT YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.
If I begin to tell stories ehh...... forget.

Baby mama:

Don't mind them
Can I count how many old classmates of mine have passed away

Chika died in our elementary school
Uche first class brain,died while an engineering student
Elizabeth died as a medical doctor
Kubee died as a medical doctor
My own cousin K died in his teens
Chima died as a medical doctor

Just to mention a few

Sissie: Most people who are AS and consider marrying an AS, do not know the implications, and don't fully understand it. Probably haven't been a primary caregiver for an SS person during crises, or witnessed someone having a crisis.

Scientific developments has made managing it easier, but why take chances especially when your not sure how severe the crisis may be for the child.

I know it's possible to have 4 children without having an SS, but it's a risk.

Baby mama:

Managing easier,how many live to get married?

Sissie:

Most of the SS people I know are doing well, managing easier, and do not have frequent crisis.

Many live to get married.

yellowpawpaw: Sissie, very few of them r managing well.
If u hv be privelgd to take care of a sickler,u will be wishing they will die and rest instead of living a life of constant pain and misery.
Very intelligent set of pple.

What is lv? Who only marry for lv nowadays?
Some churches can't even wed u if u both were AS.

Baby mama:

Don't mind people that log in and speak from ignorance
This poster needs to take a trip to a hospital ward with SS children and reality will set in

Baby mama: I am sure there are some SS people on this forum
Perhaps you need to share your personal experiences with this poster
It may be better for the lovebird to hear from the mouth of someone living with SS

Toktee: When i brought my result and that of my wife to whch was As-As,my pastor asked us"btw God and man whose report do you believed or can u believed"we chorus,GOD and today we are happily married,our first kid is doing well,if you don't want to complicate matters using ur hands,pls take this threat off nairaland else when you are thru reading all the coments that will come in,you will become a confused person.I really pity u bro , is ds the kind of advice you proffer to lost mind?? U seem to b lost here too.God gave us brains and wissdom so we dnt hv to disturb him unecvesssarily.I hv close familly frnds ,very wealthy in fct were I reside mtheyve got 3kids d 2nd is an ss comin frm dem, dat yopung son of. Theirs in second sch till date is source of sorrow and pains in that familly, all d money they make partly go on miracvles medics, I am a witness to wt the family is goin tru till date , I wnt wish even my enemy get in genotyoe union troubles, u will never be happy wit your self wen the attack starts with that child.my female colleaque at d office just lost a 21 year old beautifull and intelligent SS daughter.Pls dnt even go there my dr. I am also a clergy. If God doeS the miracle b4 d weddin , that's pretty fine else DON'T!!!
Go with GOD.
