berem: If you are gonna have four kids,one of the kid is going to be a sickler. Two will be carriers and one normal:


AA AS AS SS

Its likely the fourth child will be the sickler but its not in all cases
no one is sure which child will be a sickler. The first could be the sickler. All the children could be sicklers. It's just a random event.

There is a probability of not giving birth to a SS carrier, even if they plan to give birth to 70 children.

You can always adopt. I don't understand Nigerians' obsession with kids. What if you get married to an AA, but have no kids?

If you truly believe that your partner is your true love, then go for it. Better than to marry another who you don't love and have a miserable marriage.

Why?

Isn't it funny that the same pastors that preach "Faith" and that "There is no situation that God can't change" are the ones writing this off? Is this a lack of Faith or a limitation of the abilities of "God"?

I believe God gave us the knowledge of medical science for our use and so we can make our lives better. He does not have to show up in our lives, he gave us knowledge so let's use it.

@OP,
IVF and/or Adoption

It is a lot better to have that and marry the person you love and you are happy with than leave that person and be miserable with the person you settle down with

I just don't understand pple...is it that they don't get this theory.....plsssssssss if u remember that biology diagram we use to draw in school back den...that out of four children btw AS parents one will be SS...it doesn't work Dat way word for word..allow me to shoot it like dis..btw 2 AS Parent the chance of having a an SS is 25%....nd damn Dat pretty high...considering we don't have control over the selection process...cos what the diagram is actually saying is assuming u can have a 100 children 25 of dem will definitely be SS... 25 AA ..nd 50 of them AS....but no woman can give birth to 100.. at worst 5 or 6 nd Dat entire six may be part of the 25 SS unit .nd dats why it's possible for two AS parent to give birth to 4 children all having the sickle cell gene....so abeg...no try am...pple get desperate especially ladies once they clock 30yrs old..but statistics show that the population of AA is higher dan AS or SS.so there's always one AA guy or lady out there for u...shikena

bigmodo: What options are available for a couple with the same A.S genotype so they wont produce S.S children, please assist us.


Look @ the probabilities,
50% of AS
25% of AA
25% of SS

I am AS, married AS and had 2 AS girls. Well, we were lucky.

Lots of people marry without the knowledge of their spouse's genotype.

I am not saying you should go ahead or not but what am saying is, it is not automatic that all AS couples have SS child. Understand the chances, risk and luck.

Genea: My dear if you marry a As,u can do a bone marrow transplant if u av a SS as a child,am a medical student,i kno wat am saying and dere is a probability dat u can gv birth to ony one ss or none at all

Sincerely speaking, is that what you would advice your patient?
Is bone marrow transplant a child's play? This is an advice you should give to a Leukemia patient who didn't bring the cancer upon himself and not someone who has clearly seen a ditch and has decided to jump into it.


It's true that he might not give birth to an SS child but it's also true that he can give birth to ALL SS kids. It's a random chance thingy more like gambling with the lives of his unborn and he has to choose wisely for posterity sake.


My 1 cent though!

Lol that's cross bidding right? It is a probabilistic test it doesn't mean the children will come in that order. It just shows that AA-25% AS-50% SS-25%. In the real world all the children can be SS as far as there is a probability of having an SS child in the cross bid. So don't risk it

My dear broda there is every tendency dat ur first one or two issues may be AA OR AS OR SS. So wil u wait for that luck to shine towards u by given u one or two kids wit AA? Wat if it was SS? My advice is for u to quit the relationship and look 4 an AA woman. This is wat i do if i meet a new lady b4 i sing too many luv song to her i must first ask of her genotype and other gene transmitable diseases? Also i advice dat all chronic bachelors like me will same. Tanks

farano: 1. money
2. ivf
3. prayer

but I can never advise two AS individuals to get married simple.

@OP if you are even considering this then you are an idiott!!!! i am so pissed whenever i see Nigerians asking this question!!! you know the truth yet its as if you are looking for someone to lie to you!!

Nigerians really are funny.. Its like a guy who constantly has unprotected sex asking what are his options against HIV!!!!!!

The only reason two mentally sane AS people would get married is because they are very wicked, selfish, sociopaths who care for no one but their self gratification!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Face the reality and stop dreaming!! tomorrow after your child is suffering you will be going from church to church saying your enemy is afflicting you

I've not logged in in months but just had to.

Some people here are posting info dat is wrong. For EACH child you chose to have, there is a 25% chance of having d SS genotype,75% chance of having AA or AS genotype. I repeat EACH and EVERY child. That's why some couples have up to 4 kids and 3 are SS and some have and none are SS. It's a case of probability and good fortune. Do u guys want to risk that?

Some people here also mistakenly think that if they lose the person they are in love with now, their whole world will crash and they would never get someone to love and to love them back like that particular person. That is Rick Ross-sized bullcrap. I used to feel that way and I forcefully and stubbornly tried to marry someone who was AS like me. Thank God she used her bad character and other things to end it. Today im married with 2 kids looking forward 2 my 3rd anniversary with love, gratitude and irreplaceable rest of mind.
Guys choose wisely. Ending a wonderful relationship may be extra tough and painful but years down the road you may see that it was 100% worth it.
Peace.

If it's really love and not infatuation you have for that somebody then why do you plan to intentionally hurt her and make her life full of pains and heart ache by bringing unhealthy babies into her life.. The presence of a sickly child/children in the house(which you should have avoided anyway) is enough to prick your conscience and make both of you unhappy for a life time.

Well, AS vs AS couples have a 25% probability of delivering a SS genotype child for each pregnancy.
The options are divided into several categories.
PRE-MARITAL
1. Like other pple said, individuals with AS/SS genotype should not marry others with AS/SS genotype.

POST-MARITAL( if u guys marry knowingly or unknowingly)

1.IVF that's carefully selecting an egg and sperm from both parties without any veing a AS/SS genotype
2. If for any reason u get married to the individual (knowingly or unknowingly) then u also ve options
ANTE-NATAL (before delivery)
Which involves specialized tests carried out to check the fetus Genotype and subsequently aborting if the fetus has a SS genotype. (Selective abortion/termination of pregnancy)
3.Post delivery....
3a. Bone marrow transplant
3ai. Stem cell transplant, more popular and even done in nigeria (http://ihuanedo.ning.com/m/blogpost?id=2971192%3ABlogPost%3A95457) by
Dr. Godwin Bazuaye is a consultant dermatologist and Hematologist) and specialist in bone marrow transplants UBTH.
3b. Good Management of the child.
There are better drugs now that help with their managements and also support groups that enlighten parties involved.
Finally.....there are a lot of UPs and DOWNs in raising a child with SS genotype esp in a developing country, Prevention is still the best advice, to spare the child the excruciating pain, trauma, recurrent hospital visits and for the parents capital intensive situation.
Let's also not forget the emotional stress on the parent and child
BUT just incase pple are ignorant or unaware of their genotype and get married then the post marital options are avaliable.
Hope this helps

Its because they are living a healthy life and have never experienced or felt what a sickler feels..

Every sickler has a little hatred for their parents.
