Sniper101:
Nope.

Cos I've never gotten to the point in a relationship where the discussion about "genotype" would come up

Do not play with fire.. You better do so you'll know once and for all if you're indeed in OR out thinking you're in

Munzy14:

This comment is deep, biko rephrase.

Taa gbafuo!

HembaqMbk:
Have you lost a very good relationship because of incompatible Genotype?

What was your experience and how did you move on?

Only few haven't walked on that genotype route....
".... Breaking up its not very easy but I have to go.... Knowing me, knowing you it's the best we can do....." Abba pop song..

If you know you know.......

Many many years later, You will be very grateful & glad you did....
I saw first-hand, the pains genotype incompatible couples live with..... I don't wish such anguish on anybody....
I called her and thanked her for having the courage to walk away....
Speaking from personal experience.....
If you have not tied the marital knot , please walk away.
My two cents.

Lol. This just reminded me that one of my gf asked me "The Genotype" question about two months ago.

I wonder what was on her mind.
Ha ha

Oboy.....this is serious. We are both AA sha but wen lockdown is lifted and boo comes, we must still check everything even we will check our down below. Everything checkable ni o

Biglittlelois:



So how do you ask a potential their rhesus factor seeing that not everyone knows anything like that?

most Nigerians over 98% are positive already

famouscargo4u:



It is not a good excuse. Maybe you don't love or feel comfortable with him.

Exactly, I was thinking about that as well
She didn't like the guy

@Twoclans

Sunisonflex39:
what the hell is rehsus or what are those people discussing over there. someone enlighten me

Asin ehh.... . With all my beards and years on earth, I'm just hearing about rhesus factor for the first time in my life...

Ha ha

Her mind is to marry you asap... Or perhaps pin you down with pregnancy (don't tell her I said so)

HembaqMbk:


It is better to ask before going into any

Sure thing.

Truth is, there's a way out for both AS partners to marry without having SS babies but it's both emotionally and financially draining.
I know a couple who's gone through it but I don't think they'd wish same for their enemies.

They did invitro genetic testing and had to abort the foetus each time the result is SS

But there's also the option of IVF with Genetic testing.

Explain more plz

Munzy14:

I didn't even see this before replying earlier post, u are positive in the rhesus thing.

D is the antigen, u have it.

Those who lack D are A-

Thank you.

Bibyken:

The Rhesus factor, or Rh factor, is a certain type of protein found on the outside of blood cells. People are either Rh-positive (they have the protein) or Rh-negative (they do not have the protein). This distinction mostly matters when you are Rh-negative and your child is Rh-positive.

This protein does not affect your overall health, but it is important to know your Rh status if you are pregnant. Rh factor can cause complications during pregnancy if you are Rh-negative and your child is Rh-positive.

Rh incompatibility occurs when a woman who is Rh-negative becomes pregnant with a baby with Rh-positive blood. With Rh incompatibility, the woman’s immune system reacts and creates Rh antibodies. These antibodies help drive an immune system attack against the baby, which the mother’s body views as a foreign object.

Antibody formation can happen after blood transfusions or when fetal blood enters the mother’s circulation:

Early pregnancy complications such as *miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, or terminations
*Injury to the stomach area during pregnancy
Bleeding during pregnancy
*Tests that require cells or fluids to be withdrawn from a pregnant woman (like amniocentesis and chorus villus sampling)
*Delivery of a baby (either vaginal or cesarean)

A woman who is Rh-negative is at risk for Rh incompatibility when she becomes pregnant. Rh incompatibility happens only when the father of the baby is Rh-positive. Doctors do not routinely test men’s Rh status. Instead, expectant parents discuss their individual status with their doctor.

A difference in blood type between a pregnant woman and her child causes Rh incompatibility. Children may be Rh-positive if they inherit the protein from their father, even if their mother is Rh-negative.

Thank you for this very detailed explanation. It all makes sense now. What if the father is Rh negative?

Munzy14:

This is serious, That means your family will be more of AS....

The only reason AS can marry is if they agree not to give birth, but only adopt.


A lady in my area entered psycho because of this genotype issue.

On my maternal side, this is correct.

Why did the lady go psycho? Simply asking questions once the relationship has been defined can save everyone a world of heartache.

The test result was, and I quote-
Blood Group- A+ Rhesus- D
Na wetin I see for paper o

lol. A+ means u r HIV positive

semid4lyfe:


A+ means your Blood Group is A while your Rhesus factor (RhD) is positive.

You no get problem, lucky you.

Bibyken has explained it to me. Apparently it is a good thing . I asked her what happens if the father of the child is Rh negative.

perdollar:
lol. A+ means u r HIV positive

Your teacher in school needs to be jailed.

Yes I haved. It hurts nd painful.

U have the rhesus antigen

FlordFlorez:
nothing like D. From ur first post (rh-d), i think u are negative. Rh factor tests are tests carried out to ascertain if ur blood stream contains rhesus protein. If its present (+), absent (-). Though, im not a med practitional but would soon be, i'll advice u go visit one and get the details or google it.

D is actually the the designation for rhesus factor. Its just like A and S

That sounds expensive, but I guess when there's a will, there's always way.

HembaqMbk:


Thanks for the explanation.

Will there be need for Rhogam if the baby is Rh - Negative? If the baby's RH matches with that of the -ve mother.

Nope no need as their blood are compatible

All these genotype shit na scam our parents didn't do any test b4 getting married but their children survived....

In as long as i i lo you I'll marry you regardless of your genotype though I'm AA

I also heard that those that were AA b4 den turned AS can still marry AS it won't matter that's what 1 doctor said

Pls which medical school trained him or her?

Carchoice:
haba!!! What are you guys even discussing? Which is is Rhesus ontop the matter again? Never heard of this. Is this a factor to consider before marriage??

Foetus dying!! This one shock me

am more than shock. Am a novice. Someone should enlight me

Ishilove:

If both parents are negative the child will be negative. So no complications. RhD+ blood don't produce antibodies when in contact with RhD- blood. Thats why RhD+ persons can take blood from either extreme and also why a RhD+ mother can safely give birth to RhD- child with hardly any complications.

RhD- negative blood is a totally different thing. Once its sights the rhesus antigen eh, it quickly alerts the immune system to start producing antibodies that will kill those rbc carrying the rh factor. Most times if the first exposure to rh+ blood is minimal, there won't be much reaction as the amount of antibodies produced at that point will be low. But if the 1st exposure is substantial, there will be reaction.

After 1st exposure, the body keeps producing more antibodies in preparation for the next "invasion" by rh+. You can only imagine what will happen on 2nd exposure. Its devastating really.

Thats why rh- people can only receive blood transfusion from rh- people. And why a rh- negative mother will have problems when the blood of a rh+ child mixes with hers for the second time.

If you check through history, you will hear of ogbanje children, who don't live long and are constantly sick. Those were SS children, but no one knew at the time. As always we created spiritual tales to explain it.

Your genotype can't change. It remains the same throughout your life. The only reason you will have two different results is due to human error. I personally don't know why someone trained will make such error because the test is very straightforward to carry out.

A doctor who knows his stuff will never tell you genotype doesn't matter. Well except you are AA and even then you still have to check for rhesus compatibility to avoid rh disease in the future.

There's no scam here. Read through the thread and learn!
