I and my wife are both AS and we have been married for a year now, we already made an appointment with a specialist clinic for foetus testing.
My advice is that you can go ahead if you have the financial capability. Gone are those days when there are no solutions to genotype issues in marriage

If I may ask how much is the cost of testing?
Re: AS Genotype Couples, Please I Need Your Advise by Poleski: 9:59pm On Apr 02, 2023
What if you get mostly SS, are you going subject your woman into having multiple abortions? You better not marry her.

Having a an SS baby is emotional draining and also money draining. I know because my parents are both AS and had four kids who were SS. Three died.

I'm AS while my wife is AA, and that's how it supposed to be. AA+AA is the best. AA+AS is good. AS+AS is not recommended unless you've a lot of cash to burn. AA+SS is similar to AS+AS but no sane person would like to have an SS wife or husband. AS+SS is really bad and should be avoided. SS+SS is the worst and should be avoided at all cost.

Good luck.

Correction: AS+AS and AA+SS are not similar because the former can produce an SS baby while the latter cannot.

Another thing, I omitted genotype AC because it is rare but I should've included it anyway. Below is the Genotype Compatibility Chart.


Courtesy of American Uni. Nigeria.
AA + AA = AA, AA, AA, AA (Excellent)
AA + AS = AA, AS, AA, AS, (Good)
AA + SS = AS, AS, AS, AS, (Fair)
AA + AC = AA, AA, AA, AC. (Good)
AS + AS = AA, AS, AS, SS, (Very Bad)
AS + SS = AS, SS, SS, SS, (Very Bad)
AS + AC = AA, AC, AS,SS. (Bad; Advice needed)
SS + SS = SS, SS, SS, SS, (Very Bad)
AC + SS = AS, AS, SS, SS, (Very Bad)
AC + AC = AA, AC, AC, SS. ( Bad; Advice needed).

This love looks blind now to see reality, but when the output of this mistake you are considering making now surface, then you will both realize that love can see.
Please go your separate way now to save the foreseen calamity ahead...

well spoken but with a good pay one can sustain it. If u target 3 to 4 kids when ever she's pregnant u go for it , I feel I can do it, my woman has brought peace of mind to me ever I met her after terrible 7yrs in my previous toxic relationship, I see my new gal as a God sent exactly what any man could look for in a woman. Though the money is not yet there , I'm in early stage of my career no money yet, but I know it will come. I don't want to loose this gal she's a peace of mind, first time I'm feeling loved in a very long while .

I have been married for Ten years now and I think I can advise u on this genotype issue. I have seen many thread on issue of genotype in which people are giving out advice here. I just looked on cos I have nothing to contribute.
My wife and I are AS. Though we did not lie about it to our families but the resistance was too much from her own family. We weigh a lot of issues that are bigger than genotype, like what of if I marry another person and she couldn't conceive and many others like that. But what really helped us is that we had great convictions in the relationship and I have peace being around her.
We have two kids so far and they are both AA, Female and male. If u love the woman very well and u are ok with her character, I beg u go ahead. Don't try to please anyone. If u have the money to do pre-testing and Ur wife is in agreement kindly go ahead. Few good women are outside there and the rate of divorce is alarming. May God almighty guide Ur step.

Best comment here thus far; people be talking here like they are God themselves and like being AS is like having demonic possession or being a demoniac with legions of demons in the people involved! God bless you Boss for this. Cheers.

I and my gal are planning settling down despite genotype not matching , she's AS same with me, but because of medical technological advancements, we visited a specialist who told us that we can still marry if we so desired to be together.

Just that If we can afford the cost of going for foetus testing whenever she's pregnant so as to ascertain the genotype of the child. According to him if the test is conducted and it turns out to be AA or AS, we can keep it, but if it's SS we determate, I have spoken to my gal and we are yet a decide despite this seeming goodnews that we can still be together if we choose to, she really wanted us together same with me.
On my part, I have been in terrible and toxic relationship for the past 4years that almost claimed my life but God served from her. And this my current gal came along and she's exactly what I prayed God for, she's really like a gift to me, since she came I have had peace of mind I don't want to loose her because of genotype but thank God for this technically medical advancement , please I want to know if anyone have undergone this treatment before , what's your experience or experiences

Don't try it. Except you are ready for IVF where the genotype will be determined. Very expensive though.

Sickle cell anaemia is curable at birth. It's surprising that many Nigerians still do not know about this medical breakthrough that has been available for close to two decades. I know for sure that university of Benin teaching hospital was the first hospital to such services available in Nigeria. Good luck.

See if you really love that woman, you will release her and yourself to your God ordained spouses where you will have peace of mind.

When the trouble starts, it is you sounding all this lovey dovey that will run and leave her.

There is nothing demonic about being AS, but when combined with AS or SS, it shouldn't be encouraged.

Why stress over the Power of God to heal instead of taking advantage of His Wisdom to prevent.

One of God's best gift to mankind is the miracle of medicine. So one should take advantage of several breakthroughs in medical discovery to have a better life.

You have peace of mind yes, but do you know her inwardly?
If the fetus is SS ,you terminate ,then you are a killer, can you bear the cost .
Love is blind today ,but tomorrow it is toxic gbam . Your supposed wife will vehemently oppose fetal testing or termination then you are in frying pan ,after birth you are in a fire .
Stop pretence you will meet your better choice

As long as there is a plan for CVS for every pregnancy I’ll say you can go ahead, you both can’t be unfortunate to keep getting SS children in each of your pregnancy because the probability is 25%.

I and hubby also did the same thing, our families are aware and supported, spent about 500k on the procedure and we have our AS baby boy now, we are going to try for another baby soon and we’re hoping our 75% is in our favor.

It is difficult meeting someone you can easily relate with for marriage o. But please MAKE SURE there is a planned money on ground for the procedure, don’t ever take that risk based on faith alone.
Please ma, I would like to ask you few questions. How do I reach you?

Pls for the sake and benefit of ur unborn child do not make a costly mistake that will make you to go into depression for rest of ur life or better still Try to sit her down and explain to her to see reason why u guys cannot be together.... Am just suggesting but if you willing to marry her u can still go ahead with it..Even d so call modern technology dey fail at times... I could remember vividly about my boss that year he made such costly mistake and he was never a happy man.... Sometimes we might be doing something very important he will just receive call from his child's ward that he should come over and take his child to hospital that he fainted.

thanks dear for your encouragement, I'm currently chasing my license hoping to get it before the year runs out, as soon as I do that there will be inflow of cash.

She at the other end is a 18yrs gal, but thinks and behave like a 30yrs old woman very mature , humble and homy knowing what to do at all time, u might even doubt her age because of her maturity. she has really been a piece of mind to me, I really suffer in my previous relationship.

Also for career , she has been learning chemist before she had misunderstanding with the woman she was staying with so had to relocate to my area where I met her at the market, so I have made an arrangements with a family friend so she could go over there and continue building herself in chemist , as soon as I'm balanced I intend setting up somewhere for her (chemist), that will be after our marriage.
This whole thing will end badly. You'll remember the day you made this thread a few years from now and wish you had used your head. Mark my words

If you love ur life or ur girl as you said, you won't dare marry her. My cousin tried that in spite of similar warning like this, now they have buried his daughter after 2 years of labouring in vain. Love is a temporary insanity curable by marriage. People that are both AA don't even feel the love after 2 years of marriage often because of other issues of life, how worse if you add taking care of or eventually loosing SS child/children to those other issues common in many marriages? If you don't listen to reason, life will teach you in due season! Nigerians prefer the latter, though, so I won't be surprised if you go ahead.

Let her go...God that brought her would still bring another one if not even a better one..

When you gets what you wants,your eyes would clear...Irritability would set in...Love would gone in into the thin air..Resources drained from getting a desired zygote..
Common Peace would be costly.
Some unforseen circumstances will end up cropping in due to ur youthful exuberant choices including bone marrow transplant of 20m.😔😔😔

Worst is that failure rate of this ur technology is high...SS will end up having VOC before you.Day in day out checks and medical emergencies..
Hospital would know you as a reliable customer...As you are entering with ur child,ur files wouldn't be asked of, no need for history taking...We just have to attend to you as usual as a known sickle on the list of patronage.

This is just tip of what some patients and parents like you are going through.

A word is enough for the wise..
I wish you the best of luck still!..

AS AS match not advised, the risk of producing a sickler is more than 25%, you dont want to face the long term wahala of caring for a sickler, its torture for you and the child. Get an AA instead.

Practical realities your pastor wont tell you because he wants to eat wedding cake. The AS lady can be your side chick instead
