My GF and I have been dating since 5 years now and we have decided to get married at the end of this year. At the marriage course, I was advised to go for a genotype test as she happens to be a sickle cell carrier. I have initially done this test while I was schooling in Nigeria and they told me I don't have any traits.
However, I have just gotten a call from my GP ( General Practioner) and he said I am a carrier as well and advice I shouldn't carry on unless I don't want kids.
Is there anybody out there who has gone through a situation like this? What should I do? I'm totally confused. 5 years of blissful love down the drain?
Hmmm

Dude you have to take heart on this one. It can be quite sad for a 5 year love story to come to an end just like that. But you have to think about your future kids if you go on with the marriage..but if you are willing to pay the price of visiting the hospital regularly with your kids well it's your choice really. I have a couple who has this problem presently the only reason why they don't visit the hospital regularly is because right from day one they were using sickle cell management supplements for their kids it helped a lot but it was recommend by the advice of an expert in that field. Bottom line is it's your choice really. Stay blessed

Cheers mate. I appreciate. I think I will have to look up the supplement you mentioned. Thanks again
