No die oo.

That's the reason why it should be your first question before even asking her out. Once you know you have marriage plans for her, before asking her to even go out with you - ask for genotype

my brother, we dey. I saw this thread and decided to step in a bit. Many think Sickle cell is a joke or something to be joked with. Smh.
Do u know its possible to still give birth to a sickling child even from an AS and AA parents. U mentioned bthal s in one of your posts.
What most people don't know (even consultant doctors ) is that genotyping for marriage purpose goes beyond d Hb variants of A,C E and S. Its medically possible to still give birth to a sickling child (having SCD crises) even from a homozygous A parent and heterozygous AS parent. This has noting to do with mutation oo

Did our forefathers give a rat's azz about this?

No they didn't & they also paid the price, that's why alot of them had kids dying off prematurely, these deaths were attributed to "ogbanje"

I am responding to your post because of the bolded.
How old is your girl?
How often does she have crisis?
What are your fears?
Are you emotionally, and financially matured for marriage?
Can you take decisions for yourself, without bothering about what family and friends will say?
.
I am SS man, married to AA woman and I have a son. Am in my 30s and have not been hospitalized for a little over 3 years.
My wife knew about my genotype and still loved me despite it.
No one can make marriage decisions for you.
She is 24
Her last major crises was rili a turbulent period.. She lost her hearing ability. Since then, she's not really been sick again that much
My fears is the uncertainty surrounding this whole thing during marriage.. I honestly do not want my kids to suffer.
Financially and emotionally, i'm
I can take decision.. But you know that, you cannot entirely rule out their participation in that your decision making process

Let LOVE Lead

Love conquer fear

The greatest things in life is Love

The greatest force is Love

God is Love

As a matter of fact there is no genotype mentioned throughout the scripture. The concept is purely earthy.
Even if im AS or SS, I cant be deceived by what people or doctor is saying.


I will go Love (God) way

I just ♥ this! Are u for real?

Pls anyone heard abt Prenatal Genotype Diagnosis

Na God and this PGD I dey count on ooooo. #LoveComesFirst.
Recently heard about it too.That one can find out the baby's genotype 3mths into the pregnancy.Its the aftermath I dont like

You AA, so your kids will be fine. Yeah, sickle cell can be very challenging. But, we do live a fulfilling life and we equally love with everything we have. The decision is yours to make. Either you accept her the way she is or you let her be.
I say again, I live with sickle cell and I am married and have a kid. Sickle cell doesn't define us.

I can comment on this post million time,because Genotype is hurting me....its ruining me, what brought about genotype why is it hurting relationship.....why are the real ones As this are questions I need answer to.....is it just me that run into As dunnooo,its hurt
It's actually emotionally disturbing, to be searching for a compatible person and it's not even as if the genotype is written on his or her forehead. But can you compare your emotional hurt to that of birthing a baby with Sickle Cell and live in fear of not knowing whether he or she will live long enough. Even after he or she has become an adult, you still fuss over their health.
Can you compare your emotional hurt now, to when the SS child starts suffering from discrimination? Being rejected by others especially the opposite sex just because mummy and daddy didn't think it wise to find someone with a compatible genotype to marry?
If you are true to yourself, you will find someone who's compatible with you sooner than later.
goodluck.

Re: Sickle Cell Awareness !! Come In And Learn..... by jnrremedy(m): 10:16am On Sep 10, 2015

please explain how this is even possible.
There are 3 major haemoglobin disorders
Sickle cell disease scd
Alpha thalesemia
Beta thalesemia
Others
Thalesemia trait is also transmitted in the same fashion as d sickle cell trait (s or c). U need to have the homozygous gene for the thalasemia trait b4 u show clinical signs of d diseases ( just like SS trait) or the S haemoglobin in presence of a gene for thal. In simple terms:
If ur genotype is AA and you have a gene of thal (ie thalesemia) you will only be a carrier(have beta thalesemia minor) but won't manifest any clinical signs (asymptomatic)
If u are AS and u have a gene of thal u will show the same clinical sings and symptoms of a sicklerr. This explains the rare case of an As and AA parents giving birth to a sickler. I believe u must have heard of such cases and d funny thing is that the electrophoresis analysis of d child will show SS. What happened here is that one of d parents is a carrier so a gene of thal was transfered to d child whose genotype happens to be AS( though genotyping of d child using electrophoresis will come our as SS ) u need a more sophisticated diagnostic tool to see d true picture
You can also directly inherit thal gene from both parents ( if both are carriers) in this case your genotype is irrelevant u will definitely show d symptoms of a sickler
Most doctors don't no or say this cos d incidence of thalasemia disease in not that high in this part of d world but that doesn't mean its not present
Am actually typing on transit so pardon my errors
