The Ogbanje Syndrome Aka Sickle Cell Anaemia... by Adaeze003(f): 9:06am On Jan 29, 2016
I know, I know... the topic is not romantic at all but then think about it, our forefathers probably said their SS children were ogbanje spirits... probably scolded them for coming to make them spend all their money when it wasn't their fault.

Ok that aside, now we know better but that doesn't change the fact that we're in any less of a pickle... Ehm ok, yes we're in less of a pickle but there's still a pickle. angry

So at some point in my life I got angry(like real anger oh) at people who would insist on marrying a carrier(AS) when they're carriers themselves and I remember once cautioning an advise seeking NLer not to try that. Well, I guess I didn't understand.

But when another human completely sweeps you off your feet... you know that point where you literally feel yourself breaking down the emotional walls(walls of steel oh cheesy) just to let someone in and then the dreaded question lands... "what's your genotype? " then you have this weird convo with yourself..

You: wait why is he asking?
You: he wouldn't care if he was AA rii?
You: well that's true after all I don't look SS...
You: OMG he's AS!

Lol! Well, the purpose of the thread?

To the AS folk, have you had an experience with another carrier? Do you think you'll even think about dating or getting married to a carrier?
Or did you get married to one?
Just to share experiences because I know some other people may be sailing the same boat trying to make the right decision. If it's too personal for you, just use the "a friend of mine" line, we'll understand. wink

To the AA folk, would have get married to a carrier? I know you think it's a no brainer after all there are no risks but ehm I've heard someone said he can't contaminate his bloodline? shocked shocked

Hmmm... This remind me of when i first discovered i am a carrier, o mehn i was clueless about what it meant until the doc now called me aside to explain the pros and cons. Since then i have always factored that before going into anything serious with a girl.

Bloodgroup: O+

I'm always grateful to God for this....I have never been worried....but I don't think I would want to undergo the stress of dating/marrying an SS.

Please avoid that if you can. God is good tho...

Cos theirs one chance of an AA and SS then two chances of getting AS. That if you are having four kids.

Bro, doesn't wrk like dat o! Dat stuff means: evry time u gv birth, u av a chance of AA n SS, with 2 chances of AS. U just might be unlucky n av evry child as SS. Dat was wat bcame Ogbanje. D kid/s dat survived dat label, where mostly d lucky AA/AS.

I've known foreva, yet met a lady I tot I couldn't afford to be without. Tried breaking up b4 tins got deep, couldn't keep apart, went at it, den my commonsense took over. She hasn't forgiven me since den.

I wasn't worried abt us, but wat abt wen d kid/s are SS? He/she grows up n questions why u knownly put dem thru such hell!?

Though, dey are living longer nowadays n I recently read abt possible cures.

1. Replacing bone marrow(been arnd for sometime)

2. A kind of blood treatment/replacement.

True talk.. I even attended a seminar like that wen I was still in Secondary school. A beauty queen at dat time was an SS carrier, she was even the speaker for the seminar. She had that replacement of bone marrow.


Bt d replacement of blood marrow is 50:50. U could lose ur life in d process.

You don't want Your future kids suffering the pains n crisis A sickecell'd patient Encounter.




You'd forever hate yourself for making that decision especially When You already Knew the truth and still went Ahead to, tempting fate, When it could've been thwarted.


Our parents and Ancestors never knew about this, we should be glad we're actually Aware of This.
Biko, don't let Religion cloud your better judgement. You'd only live to regret it.sad

Is it possible for God to give you an AS guy as your future hubby when he knows you are one too?

Damn! Life is unfair, I mean why does it look like we have many carriers than, non-carriers? Imagine a situation where you will have to marry someone you don't want to marry, because he/she is AA, because that's the first question on everyone's lips nowadays, what's your genotype..
Seems like AS and SS got no choice, when AA comes around for marriage?

Nope, AA and SS will never have an SS kid actually and for AS and AS, it's a 1/4 thing. Although not everything follows the science rules, you might just end up having all SS kids shocked or be lucky to have none t all sef...
