Op, I have been in this kind of scenerio twice now, though I never dated them but I really liked them. The first one happened 6 years ago, we are both not married till now. He will tell me " why are all the good girls I meet AS, and the crazy ones are AA?. AA girls have broken his heart several times.
This choice of marriage partner can be hard for some people. Those that got compatible spouses ( medical, physical, behavioral, spiritual, mental) easily don't know how lucky they are.
Imagine someone on this thread saying that he doesn't want to marry an AS, because they are all AA in his family and he wants to keep his family bloodline, as if AS individual chose the sickle cell genes. What a sickening mentality!

Honestly most AA girls will show you peper when they know you are AS as a guy

I am as and my spouse as. We took the step with a determination not to have kids with sickle cell disease and God did it. We are eight years in Marriage with a boy and a girl, AA, AS. That is a full stop but looking back now I will not advice anyone to try it but if you wanna try it then do that with a resolve to not birth an SS. But each time I remenber deadly diseases like Corona, Ebola that claims both healthy and unhealthy and I remenber any couple can birth a deformed child or conjoined twins then I resolve that where there is a will, there will always be a way to end nonsense.

Adamumd:
Being AS has shattered my dream of being with one or two persons i so much love and they loved me back.

I'm at the age/stage i so much want a serious relationship that will lead to settling down and my kind of woman is hard to find, recently met a woman who has everything i want only for me to find out she's AS while am also AS.

Is there a way out please? Does this genotype thing change?

Prayerfully search for a genotype compatible partner. The fear, stress and anxiety of having potential SS kids isn't worth it. Probability may not favour you. God is gradually sieving your future partner for you.

AS plus AS is not a good combination. You will suffer for it in the future.

OCHKESTINE:
My parents are both AS. Married in the 70s.
They had 10 kids, fortunately I happen to be the only AA genotype among all 10.

Lost 6 to crisis that comes with being SS genotype.
Have three SS genotype remaining.

I have watched 6 of my siblings die. Please don't do that to any of ur kids.

Whenever I receive a call from home, I anticipate getting the news that something bad has happened.

My entire life has been like that. Always get calls to rush down to the hospital or come take one to the hospital.

I buy suppliments now and then for all of them just to see how to improve their health.

My eldest sister tho is over 40 years, she is the strongest person I know on earth despite being a chronic sickle cell patient.

Sorry about this. I believe the OP can read deeply and think of the future of his/her kids.

I just got married and both me and my wife are both AS. We plan on doing pre genetic testing or IVF. I already contacted Nordica Clinic for the whole procedure. So If you have the money to do IVF and genetic testing. You can go ahead and marry. Being AS shouldn't deprive you from happiness

U get mind o

ubee:
The incompetence of any lab that would give someone a wrong genotype result is one that shouldn't go unpunished.
In top standard societies where the law courts are well run and credible you can lay claims for damages against them if you are willing to make them pay.

... But offcourse. This Nigeria where everybody goes Scot free in almost every wrong done.

My girl was even begging we marry that she would bear any consequences that may come about after but I just have to cut the relationship. I don't like stress in my life

NaBanga:


I do not know how much it cost in Nigeria, as I am not there at this time. Try contacting Nordica Fertility Center in Lagos.

Is the procedure available in Nigeria?

Man is AS
Woman is AS

They said they must marry by force. They said they love each other.

They now married. They gave birth. First child is SICKLE CELL (SS) confirmed.

Woman saw me online and called me saying she saw my story of how I helped some Sickle Cell Patients get healed completely and are now AA.

She started story that shows she is already tired of the so called marriage and feels like running away.

She started story of how they did a neonatal genotype test in the womb and they confirmed fetus as AS.

They were happy.

She gave birth happily.

Some months later, baby started feeling down.

Tests revealed baby was SICKLE CELL (SS).

Neonatal Genotype Test gone WRONG!!!

Every day, na so so CRISES, SICKNESSES.

She called me.

I told her my life stories of those I have helped.

MoneyGoDrop:

Yeah sis, but it seems you used to ask about the genotype on the first date. I think asking on the first date might sound awkward.
I usually used to drop the question after two or three dates.
The couple by then would be very open and comfortable with each other.

folake4u:


I quite understand your point clearly and I know the implications of having SS children.

About the "subtle" asking, some people find it offensive when you ask them about their genotype. I don't know why. But I've seen it play out a couple of times.

You are not making sense. What has your so called pre genetic test got to do with your probability to get SS children?

Does the test change your genotype? Smh

How are you enjoying your frequent malaria fever?

I am As n am very happy with it
I don’t understand how ppl make AA carriers look special , like I just don’t get , apart from marriage what else ? AA carriers are prone to fever…..
In my place of work the AA carriers are usually considered as lazy n unproductive cos of their propensity to fall sick

feldido:


I don't accept blood transfusion anyway. My point here is that having a - rh makes it easy to marry anyone without fear of complications

Nope you're wrong. That only holds true for males, for a female rh-D -ve, she'd always need the Rhogem injection during pregnancy/childbirth.

About you not accepting transfusions, I'm guessing you're a JW.

Well, what's the essence of dates if it's not to familiarise ourselves with information.

True, I dey subtly ask on first dates, among other questions oh, whether make I rest or proceed.

caracas:

Malaria fever as how?

I can't remember the last time I fell sick.

Are you trying to say those with AA genotype fall sick often or what? Because I don't understand this your question.

And because it costs that much to you, you feel he can't afford it?

Nothing on earth is also 100% guaranteed.

Do your fact check by the way, the success rate surpasses the failures ever recorded by a significant great margin.

heykims:

See the way u just mentioned IVF with genetic testing.
Something that cost at least 3 million naira and success not even 100% guaranteed.

Ehen i was going somewhere with that question. And here goes my main important question.

So if you discover that the foetus in the womb is SS what will you and your wife do? Kill the foetus abi? So you and your wife will just be killing a succession of babies in the womb if the test shows they are SS abi?
I'm sure you now realise why I'm pissed off?

funkmrflexx:


It will help you know if your kid will be SS or not.

NwaAmaikpe:




Trust me, I had a lot as a bachelor.

We all know my type is rare;

Being an AA, O+, HIV-, cute-faced, smart brained, big preek, sweet-tongued, comfortable pursed, relatively fulfilled weirdo with a dual-nationality, I was the object of many ladies' cravings as they considered me the true epitome of the term 'husband material'.

NwaAmaikpe had to device a plan to avoid being trapped by those thirsty broads.
I'd date mostly A.S genotyped girls, and when they start getting comfortable, I'd tell them I was A.S all the while but was scared to tell them out of fear I'd lose them.
Depending on the temperament of the lady, I could say I just found out the previous day.

The same mumu girls will be the ones counselling me on how the future of our relationship was bleak for the sake of our kids.

I'd grudgingly accept their verdict that we couldn't get married but that didn't stop the kpekus from being served, Some even after their marriages because I was their soulmate, while their husband was just a partner.

I happened to see one many many years ago with her toddler at a busstop waiting for a ride, I picked them up and while introducing me to her son, she said. "that could have been your daddy but fate said no", I nodded.

If only the mumu knew.

Lmaoooo...the comedian in chief...

There's a way out

So why the boast?dual-nationality

Lexusgs430:



No ......

If you have money for genotype selection screening..... Go head ......

If not, never marry any lady with an S ........ The risk is too much to consider........ You might have an AA or AS, but an SS is also a very high possibility.......

Like what is the estimated cost?
