The least number of sickle cell children the woman would have is zero.While there is a 25% chance for each child to inherit sickle cell disease, these probabilities are independent for every individual pregnancy. This means that the outcome of one child does not influence the next.Key Probability BreakdownIndependent Events: Each of the 4 pregnancies has its own 25% risk, similar to flipping a coin; having one result doesn't change the odds for the next flip.Best Case Scenario: There is a 75% chance for each child to be born either completely unaffected (AA) or as a carrier (AS).Range of Outcomes: It is statistically possible for all four children to be born without sickle cell disease (0 kids), just as it is possible for all four to have it (4 kids), or any number in between

Well the world as change I and my partner are both AS, I had run the test to confirm if our baby is AS or SS or AA. We have to do the test when the pregnancy was 8 to 13 weeks old. The test cost 550k. We lucky enough our baby is AS. I will upload thr test result later if you really doubt. This. AS and AS can Marry.

Please can SS person survive. A lady told me that she is SS that's why she can't find a suitor.
She is 40 plus.
Can she marry?

I thought that SS doesn't survive?
The issue is that she is not desirable to people with SS and AS... so her search scope for partner is limited to AA genotypes alone(which is reasonable) and its not like all AAs are even available for marriage
some no wan marry, some have STDs that cant be cured, some are not financially ready, some are ready but them no just get sense,
out of those that are ok there will be some that will discriminate against her, as they dont want to deal with managing her sickle cell crisis.

The lovers were warn against getting married after their Genotype (AS AS) will produced children with sickle cell, they ignored the Doctor's advice and still went ahead and marry.

Watch as the nurse suggested what the govt should do to them

They could decide to adopt or inseminat the woman with semen from an AA man. Alternatives abounds. It's still good that they already know what they are going into before hand.

N550k is a lot of money to do that genotype test on the fetus BUT it's worth it for peace of mind

I agree. There are ways around it for those that can afford it. There is also an ethical angle to it, in the 25% chance the fetus is SS. Will the couple be willing to go through with taking out the fetus? if they are not willing to take out a fetus, they can go through a more costly option of IVF + sampling of chromosomes to guarantee the fetus will not be SS.

I saw someone said it cost about Naira 500,000 to get CVS/amniontensis done in Nigeria. That seems like an amount many cant afford, or if they can afford it, they may not be willing to undergo a d&c in the 25% chance fetus is SS

Re: Couple Who are AS AS Genotype Ignore Doctor's Advice, Got Married by Cherrybae(f): 12:22am On May 10
See many drinking panadol for another people headache.

This couples I'm sure have made plans to adopt children.

Let the couples breathe

Whats d name of the process and the cost?
Read more on prenatal diagnosis. Also confirm what your faith says about it because the options you have may have moral implications.

Prenatal diagnosis for sickle cell disease (SCD) allows parents to know if their baby has the condition before birth, usually via invasive tests like CVS (8–10 weeks) or amniocentesis (16–18 weeks).
Some people also go through IVF where the 'good cells' are selected.

I don't think you need to prove anything to strangers. I will advise you to remove the picture. I can still identify you and it's not necessary. Thanks for giving us details.

go and read well,even AA can have leg or hand ulcers.
BrickandLace:
It does happen.
There are ulcers on the ankle that may need skin graft to heal.

They also suffer from osteomyelitis ie rotting bones due to typhoid infection. Usually fatal.

tunapawizzy:
I think every birth has 25% probability of being SS
so if dem born first born SS, 2nd can still be SS and 3rd and 4th and 5th
I stand to be corrected
you are right,

They will soon learn the limitations of "love". I have seen first hand the extreme suffering and pain SS people go through.
There is one in Jos as we speak whose legs are decaying while she's still alive. Her parents have spent and spent and there's nothing left to spend anymore. Everyone has tried...Anytime I remember it I just pray that God shows her mercy.
Please, don't bring SS souls to this world.
They will never listen.

I thought that SS doesn't survive?
Some of them live well into adulthood depending on the percentage of fetal Hemoglobin and other factors.
The severity of SS illness varies.
Nigerian men never marry who well, na who sick them go marry?
A woman can marry SS man easily.
Men won't marry SS woman.. it's very difficult
