she is your dream girl,everything you want in a girl she possesses character wise and other wise,but just one problem your genotype is a s hers to is a s,she loves you even more than you love her,so can you take the risk knowing you might give birth to a sickler or sicklers in the future?answer in urgently needed to help a couple that is currently facing this challenge.thanks for your anticipated responses.

Just to remind you that you can change your votes if you have reasons to,and before you vote know that finding true love is very hard to come by and it might be your only chance and also know what it takes to bring up a sickler if based on the normal A S And A S calculation brings one S S.i.e One A A one A S and possibly one S S.Thanks for taking your time to critically analyze it.

I just let go a girl that i love so much, knowing that we are both AS. How i wish i could marry her but its very risky. I think u should follow suit or do u want 2 have unpresentable children.

Hell no, because by the time the kids start having crisis that love will disappear oooo.lol
i'll neva risk the life of my unborn children for a selfish desire.God forbid.health is wealth!

@poster
what do you mean by incompatible
if she is AS and im AA will marry her
if she is AS and im AS, will think very well because ss can be part of our lives.
If she is AA and im AS, no problem.
If she is ss and im AS, serious wahala
if she is AA and im AA, wonderful.
If we are both SS, no marriage.
So poster it depends!!!!!!

Nice one, hassymo5!

And wherever we both have an s, i don't have to think twice. i'll certainly not risk marrying her.

well, i guess we have ask everyone what their genotype is b4 we date.
Can u imagine.

''Hey, how r u? I'd like to know u. What's your genotype?''

or is it

''let's go out 1st, and when we fall in love if our genotypes r not compatible we break up. what do u say?''

Man that's hard. You know you can marry her and not have kids?

Adoption.

Marry for what?

^haha love?

Is it not one in four chances? I think the risks is 25% chance of having a sickle cell baby.

^I'm curious would you risk it?

It would break my poor heart, but I wouldn't risk it. I wouldn't want my baby to be born with something I could have avoided. 

Would you?

Yea, and if the child died that would be a nightmare.

OP: don't do it!

Man this stuff is so deep. . . I thought this was the romance section

anyway cya.

Holy shiiiit african1 I read your post again and I didn't see the last part!

I bet u thought was was a monster lol!

^^^ Don't be sad. Think of candy and your favorite football team winning the superbowl. That always makes  me happy. Lol

pleep:

Holy shiiiit african1 I read your post again and I didn't see the last part!

No! I just assumed you got sad. hence football and candy lol

Dear Nairaland blog users, loving is Godly but not at taking a well known risk that will not help the future!Once i am aware of this same genotype thing, i will back out with wisdom with explanation,
Straight to the point, my answer is NO.

african1:

Lol I hate football

pleep:

Lol I hate football

Oh my God! You didn't just say that? Why? football is the best sport in the world. HOW can you not like it?

My friend stop all these grammar,  The answer to the POST above is NO,  simple.
It does not depend on anything.

african1:

OK,  i don hear YOU,  Only a trial will convince you,

sexkillz:

Pls No. Dont! No MATTER how Much you LOVE each Other! I'm not giving any reason not More than My Neighbor Buried the fifth Child that Died as a result of the SS Genotype, Just last Week! He Had Kids, 5 are dead, and of the remaining 3, 2 are girls(AA) the last boy is also a carrier(SS)! Dont be selfish! Think of those innocent unborn children Before you make your decision!

Thank you very much for this insight, The answer is total NO

I tried! But I don't have cable so I couldn't keep up with the games. Besides soccer is the real football

Anyway, I never answered your question. I would probably have to marry her, I would have to adopt a kid though.
After passing up "the love of your life" everything else would seem like settling. IMO

@op: adopt!

The answer again is NO, Genotype supersedes love, no amount of love can over come it

I am a sports nut, he he Football is awesome, soccer is lame end of confo! mostly cause I feel we shouldn't talking about sports in this section.

I know Adoption is really great, but wouldn't you want to have a baby of your own at some point?

^ your right, let's not derail this topic too bad. 

Yea I would, there's the problem I guess, it would be cool to have a mini-me. 
and who knows what if you adopt a sociopath.

No way.

thanks for your contributions i think the conclusion is that

I have this girl i met since 2006. she was in SS3 then and still a virgin. we both are AS and it took me a year to find out and another year to let her know that i am also an AS. she never stopped crying over it and always post stuffs like God please change my blood on fb. all my family know her and her family know me. the only person that know about this AS problem between us is my elderly brother who is a DR. I asked him if it is possible to marry her but advised me to consider the consequences and tell her the truth. We are still together and happy together even as she pretends as if nothing is wrong and hopping that a miracle will happen one day. but right inside me, i know i wont risk it. i cant stand watching any of my child die before me. no one can tell if the SS child will be the first born or second. i feel so sad about it and we have both cried about it so many times but i still cant risk it.

My dear it's totally not easy for you continues thinking what it may happen in the future,but it depend on your genotype to me it's possible to marry such a lovely lady of my choice,because to God every things is possible.
