post their advice here or shut up.
and post how many from those countries are doing genotype testing or go jump off the lagoon

ubunja:

keep supporting women in their shallow persuits and see how far that will get you. you think from Eden people have been making babies by testing each other's genotype? you think anyone normal even today does that nonsense..smh

Bros, you sound so sure of this marriage without genotype brouhaha. Whats your source courage please? See me this issue is tearing apart. A man like you is about to back out of a relationship because of this issue.

LaudableXX:

I am sure that if it were possible to do genotype testing to avoid bringing a child with Down's syndrome into the world, many people would do it.

But for Sickle-cell, a simple, inexpensive genotype test exists, that prospective parents can take, to avoid bringing SS children into the world. That is why in this day and age, it is sad if parents still go ahead deliberately to have SS kids, when they could have avoided it.

If you are bi-polar it would explain why you have been giving such strange responses on this thread. Please take your medications. Accept my sympathy on your condition.

Please help. Like how much could the inexpensive testing be done? Where can i get it please?

gypsey:
there are tests Available to determine if a child is down syndrome or not here in England, problem is it's not Always Accurate, before my son was born the doctors suggested the tests to which we declined, the doctor was %90 sure that my son would be down symdrome, but he was wrong! the child is now 5 years old good looking boy just like his father **jokes** this is also one of my reasons of not taking the genotype issues Too serious.

thanks! i am Always on meds. it can be difficult but i have no choice.

Is the test you used amniocentesis? How much did it cost you there in england.

6000 yrs of marriages without genotype brouhaha and we now start living in fear?? not happening in my world.

i don't know what the test is called and it was free, we didn't have to pay for it, we do not pay for hospital treatments or tests.

but we didn't do the test we refused to do it.

You can get your genotype test done at any good hospital, manned by professional doctors.

thats why. i am not but the man is. so, i am not entitled to those benefits.

Really? i believe that if he is and you are not, as long as you are both married or partnered for a number of years you should be entitled to All benefits or Atleast some benefits.

It's hard for people who aren't properly documented, i know these nigerian couple they had a child at home just because they are Afraid to Attend hospital and Doctors Appointments. the poor woman didn't even Attend ante natals till she gave birth. until i Advised that they should visit the A&E that the Doctors and nurses are not the immigrations. their job isn't to Arrest Undocumented individuals, Although i didn't know their circumstances. they didn't want to disclose their positions to me.

I even offered our my NHS cards if push comes to shove

Sterope:
Have you ever witnessed a crisis?

Gangster1ms:

It's better not to take chance with these things... are u ss? Do u know what they go through?

Don't mind those clueless jokers who do not even have the slightest idea of what sickle cell is all about. I lost a dear cousin to the disease in 2011, and lost 3 other friends to SS crises, over the years. It was tough!

we wanted to know if we could use that procedure to give birth due to genotype palava but he said that the price at which pgd and amniocentesis is offered is outrageous. we may be going our separate ways afterall.

I still believe he didn't have to pay.
