Good morning, please I need your advise, matured ones. I met my boyfriend early this year and before we started dating I asked him for his genotype which he told me was AA. But few weeks ago, we went for genotype test and found out that we were both AS. we tried four other places and it was still the same thing. My boyfriend is of the opinion that we continue with the relationship and go for PGD(Pre Implantation genetic diagnosis) but I am not convinced. I had been a victim of heartbreak several times and this guy seems to be the best man I have ever met. please advise me. no insult please. I just find it hard to end the relationship

You will still suffer heartbreak again when you have to deal with an SS child.

u beta run my sister b4 it's too late

Dear OP, I quite honestly understand your fears and reserve. Strong bonds ain't easy to come across in this generation.

Having said that, there is no better choice than to exit the relationship as the trauma ahead can only better be imagined. The only condition I will encourage you stay put and enjoy your relationship and marriage in the future to your man is if he has the financial muscles for a "Pre Implantation genetic diagnosis". The answer to this question is one only you is privy of and must be honest with yourself.

I don't like it though when man play God but hey! "Things we do for love"

I wish the very best.

Your SS kids will place a curse on you for allowing them come to this world when you knew of the risks involved. What you see now as love will become misery. A guy i know said the only reason he doesn't hate his parents was because he was born in the era of ignorance. Don't try it. Be guided!!!

Eventually, you will have to sit down and ask yourself, will you be able to watch your child go through so much pain and agony of sickle cell?

According to Google, PGD is legit. This is my first time reading this.

No heart break is worse than having a sickle cell child or children.. You are lucky you checked now. Mine told me he was AA turned AS after 3kids

Was he an illiterate or what, I mean your ex? I mean why would he think it OK to lie about such things?

I dont understand people of this age really.

Quit the relationship ASAP. Killing the feeling by deleting every memorable times and pictures of you because if you eventually enter it game over

His suggestion is valid but ensure you're financially loaded before you proceed. PGD does not come cheap. You need about 8 million and cost of IVF/embryo freezing (another million+ per cycle). For every failed cycle, you may repeat the cost (especially when you do not produce enough viable eggs or high quality embryo) again and again until it works. Do you still want to proceed?

If you guys do not have say 20 million spare/small chop money somewhere, I would suggest you rethink your steps. Another option is to proceed anyway because of the love you both share and embrace adoption.


Ahah, na old thread sef
