If one is going to act on Faith, it would be good to make sure that it is Faith. One child with Sickle Cell is enough to eradicate any iota of love between a husband and wife(talkless of two or three!) especially if there are limited resources. 2 Likes |

it is better to avoid problem, i believe wit God nothing is impossible but to me i think d miracle shud come b4 u get married, i've heard of people dat there genotype change from SS to AA, but if u knw ur faith is not strong enough dont dabble into things like that because there will be a time u will be fed up, and later regretting why u venture into a relationship of such, please rethink! |

God forbid,but I bet your gospel would be different if u had a child dats deprived of a normal life because he/she's too fragile to engage in the activities of other normal people. Only to end up dying @ the age of 30. The fact that u were lucky doesn't make it a worthy risk. honestly,love is just an emotion that clouds the ability to reason critically. I'm sure your husband wasn't your 1st love. If u had left him for dat reason,u woulda found sum1 else just the way u found him. Taking such risk in the name of love is just too selfish. 9 Likes |

Instead of the fetus test and termination of pregnancy at 11 weeks or so, why not take matters into your hands and plan health babies using IVF. There are a variety of options to choose from, from using donor sperm for IUI and embryo selection before implantation. I have the AS genotype and my intended hubby is AS also. We plan on having a boy and a girl using one of these options then do long term family planning. I am not going to decide my life partner based on genotype. If a woman with HIV/AIDS can get married and give birth to a healthy child, so can I. Can't wait to have my babies. People just tell you don't try it, your children will suffer and die. Well children suffer and die any why and just 30 percent is SS related. For you intending to marry your sweethearts, just stroll into any IVF center and ask questions. Am sure you will be happy you did. 3 Likes |

obasmog: pls, anybody got idea of where the 10 weeks prenatal diagnosis is carried out in Nig and how much it costs?If you decide to marry your partner, I suggest you consider assisted reproductive technology. Won't it be better to know the child you are carrying is a health boy or girl from day one. Just google IVF and IUI or visit an ART center. We have a lot of them. 1 Like |

I dont know names of actual hospitals where the foetus test is carried out, however i think someone has mentioned a number of teaching hospitals. RE: cost, it cost my friend 400k to have this done in Niegria, and thank goodness the child was AA. The downside to this testing is one is at risk of lossing the pregnancy, as a biopsy is taken from the foetus and it could lead to a miscarriage, as such 2 weeks bedrest is required after. In all, one needs to weigh the risks, cost and heartaches -vs- the love to make a decision. Imagine a worse case scenario of carrying out the test, getting good news only to lose the baby as a result of the test, and then subsequent pregnancies are SS, SC. Or a couple who have had issues conceiving, and finanly conceives after years of waiting only for it to be a carrier. What I'm driving at is there are several other issues that could happen in life, as such be very aware of the potential consequences and outcomes, then prep for the worst. If you can handle the worst, go for it, if you don't have the liver, then don't. But don't go into such a union with the mind that a miracle would happen! 5 Likes |

People, please do not take these crazy risks that might land you in serious trouble. Love is a very small price to pay when it comes to genotype issue. Besides, the stress alone is enough to erase the love that is shacking you right now. Has any of you guys seen a HbSS or HbSC patient in crisis before? You will praise the lord, believe me! My parents both knew they were AS before they got married, yet they decided to go ahead with the marriage. They are divorced right now. They dont even see eye to eye. The love that was shacking them has gone with the many crises the poor child has endured for the past 12 years, out through the window! The SS child they both made has been on admission for the past 5 days, the father has not even been there to see her. The girl curses her parents each time she's in pains. Ask yourself, do you really want this type of life for yourself? Do you really think you will be lucky and may not have any SS child? This is not a family history of diabetes or hypertennsion that anyone can take chances with! Pls dont take chances. For people considering 'prenatal tests',like sum1 said, would you rather commit murder than sacrifice the love that might disappoint you anyway? How many times will you spend 500k on tests? Are you sure that that 'love' can stand the test of time, money and stress? How many innocent babies will you kill before getting the 'healthy' ones? Do you even know that the test can result in the loss of a so called normal baby? Pls think deep and make your decision based on reality. @OP, the ball is actually in your court. The decision is actually yours in the end. But please, dont start what you cannot finish. Go through the posts made here, carry out extensive research, weigh your options, make the 'right' decision and sacrifice whatever you think is easier for you to sacrifice. 10 Likes |

Congratulations madam. You are indeed very lucky and i thank God for you. I pray God blesses you home abundantly. But please, dont misinform people! The fact that you are lucky doesnt mean any1 else will be. Funny thing is, the unlucky ones are even 'plentier' than the lucky few, like you. There are worst diseases any1 can develop, yes. But trust me, you dont want to have a child that will put your heart in your mouth, put you through unimaginable stress, drain your financial reserve, get your hope up and down, or even curse you each time he/she falls sick. It is not a pretty sight to behold. And who says if you break up with sum1 for genotype issues, you may get 'the devil's incarnate'? I did and i am happier for it! Technology cannot solve EVERY human problem. These tests come with their risks too. And in the Nigeria of today, how many people can afford them? If you choose to go with 'faith', do you think any child you make who turns out to be an HbSS patient will understand such faith and forgive you? To each person, his own sha. 7 Likes |

harkindele:You have options to choose from. If your partner has no problem concieving, you can use donor sperm or egg or if you must use your sperm and egg then it can be cultured, selected then implanted in the woman. Before you choose, visit a fertility center and get more info. I as a person will do the donor sperm procedure. After you have your desired number of kids, you can do the best type of family planning suitable for you. Good luck |

Every_LadY: Its your type of attitude that complicates issues. You talk about things you are ignorant about. My sister is a wonderful example and I have seen no long term effect after 10 years of marriage and that was when it was a new concept. If the woman was having problems getting pregnant, you would suggest prayers or ART. But if its some one wanting to have healthy babies you say ART is trash. Wonder if you have any idea of what ART is all about or you just felt you should comment even if you have nothing useful to say. I am not here to force my belief on anyone but I only shared my thoughts. For those considering sharing their life together and have AS genotype, please don't go for the testing method, its too risky and its murder, rather try ART. Its 100 percent safer and has a lot of advantages like child spacing, sex selection and multiple births. please oh! This are just my thoughts. Its not by force to agree with me. 4 Likes 1 Share |

if dey re marrying just 4 d luv without having kids, it wud b perfect . If it 4 having one or two kids, d probability of AS +AS given birth 2 ss is 4:1, ie in every 4 children there is high probability of having one SS (AA, ,AS, AS, SS). I wud say dey shud just risk 4 one. Bt If its 4 d purpose of large family, they shud go 4 adoptions or just 4get abt it, becos it gonna create lots of agonies watching their children dieing helplessly. Don't thank me yet. |

Mcbussy: I am AA, my gf is AA....there's no room for weakness in the bloodline. Life is about evolution...only the strong would survive.I don't know why I am replying you. But it's a mis-conception to think that AA is the strongest of all the Genotypes. Yes, life is all about evolution but AA is really not the fittest in this part of the world (Africa). Rather HbAS is the strongest of all the genotypes in Africa. Because it evolved as resistant to Malaria. Malaria attack is highly fatal in people who carries the Hb AA genotype.

Abali1: Mr. Abali,yes u may be right and I am aware of the malaria resistance crap.but then,I'm sorry to disappoint u that malaria has never shaken me b4.that theory of malaria being fatal to AA genotype is wrong.even if we don't build a resistance to malaria,it doesn't mean it has to kill us...lol.AA is the better genotype in humanity,no matter where u are. they're not capable of producing sickle cell carriers.If u feel malaria resistance is enough excuse for being a sickle cell carrier,then think about other diseases such as Hepatitis, Pneumonia, Typhoid, Cholera ....that would take more negative toll on AS than AA.In the end,it all boils down to what u are exposed to.I av never had issues wif malaria,I treat it b4 I even start having the main symptoms. Having immunity to only 1 parasite doesn't make u stronger in a world where there are millions of parasites,bacteria,viruses ready to wreck havoc on weak,defenceless cells |

Ok guys, hv read enof here, weda AA, AS,AC,SS, DC~ PDP~ or AD. D only clear diff is dat some category of genotypes stands a better chance of living a healthy life than the other, not that one is immune to death (early or old age) or sickness. i.e "death knows no genotype". And for people debating on (weda a man wit AC can marry AS, probably cos of offspring). One thing I noticed u haven't considered d fact that we have some couples with AA genotypes on both sides who remain barren for one reason or the other. And those peeps that broke up with their potential partners cos of gene diff, d lord is ur strength. I'm not against any of the contributions....All I'm saying is that "Let ur thinking be rational" 4 Likes |
