My Girlfriend And I Are Both As. We've Just Found Out

@ poster
The hour of truth!  Can you two sincerely deal with the outcome of two AS joining together?
Maybe a little medical research might help you guys reach a decision. Moreover, there is nothing that God can not do.

LOL, u r planning to get engaged in 2010. Does an engagement require such forward planning?
Seriously? Man your girl must be patient.
As for the AS thingy, there's no escaping it man. The end is near.

too bad u both just found out now
as my friend said up there,maybe a medical research will help out.

@ poster
am so sorry about that.
my advise is that you guys should stop the relationship, and if you cannot stop probably because you are so in love then why not opt for adoption.

I dont think that should jeopardize your engagement or whatsoever. . . I really dont believe in all this scientific propaganda anyway

Abeg back out

As painful as it seems, this is the best option.
I had seen a family of six deplict gradujally to just one as all offsprings of the union were AS genotype.
The pain comes when financing hospital bills becomes a strain. All budget to the hosipital.
You'd find some children go through schooling and pass on when they eventually get a job.
Many occurences in life are quite gloomy, I don't advise you expirence. The love you once cherish would be like dust/ ash when the wahala is too much. Sorry, I seem like doomsday prophet, but use your head not your heart.

I think you need Counselling but the risk is very high to be frank with you .

Love is good but Sickle cell child can destroy the best relationship.

Women are too emotional when it comes to Children Issues ,that lover of yours will not allow you to know peace if you have a SS Child.

Please think well , do not allow love to cover your eye.

Remember Love is Blind but Marriage is an eye Opener.

Best of Luck

please take it from me if you are not spiritually sound and can't adopt back out now my Aunt lost 3 of her kids just 1 left
i have lost friends and people close classmate who was a 1st student wen we were almost thru wv schl
omo its painful and u don't want to go thru it if u don't av 2 except u r sure of living abroad wia medical facilities abound
Wish all the best all the same
Cheers

this also happened to me. then i had choices,
1. whether to go ahead and marry the girl and risk all the issues with an SS kid
2. whether to go ahead and marry, but do away with the issue of having kids at all
3. whether to call off the relationship entirely (only problem is that we were too matched)
4. whether to pray for a miracle (which i did)

now i'm still AS, but she has miraculously been changed to AA

hope my testimony has encouraged you.
just pray and reason with God.
i know, with Him, nothing shall be impossible.
take care.

dot

one out of four kids u have will have the sickle cell syndrome. u can take a chance with one or two kids.

i am not. just giving an advice.

Why come here with your problems? Go see your GP he willl give you better advice.
U don't need to study rocket science to know the consequences of being both AS.
We should have our heads examined for even replying u.

WTF is this again?

it can be managed albeit with a lot of money. the risks are too high.
