“When trouble sleep, Yanga go wake am, Wetin him dey find, Palaver, he dey find”
Fela knew what he was saying when he dished out this timeless message.
My people, how are you all feeling this bright morning? As for me and my house, we’re lit and have decided to praise the lord regardless of Nigeria’s shege.
Besties, did you guys even hear about the girl who mistakenly killed her friend during a fight? I can’t even begin to imagine the trauma she must be going through. God no go shame us o!
Today’s matter is for strong-headed people, who have decided to be silly in love. I know they say love is blind, but I don’t remember it being described as deaf. Today’s subject is in a genotype dilemma. Let’s get into it…
“So my boyfriend and I have been dating for the past 3 years and now we discovered our genotype is AS for both of us. I once checked and it was AA but now I’ve rechecked in two different laboratories and it is AS it seems there was a mistake or it wasn’t done properly the first time. We love each other so much and we don’t even want to end things.
We have 2 options, The other one is taking out some eggs of the woman and checking the eggs that have the SS cells and destroying them before mixing the good ones with the sperm and implanting it back the downside of this is the cost too but it is really not an issue too.
I need advice from couples who have done it to share their experiences.”
As you’ve heard, if you’re experienced in this matter, kindly drop a comment.
Ire o (bye)!

As someone that directly relates to this I’ll advise you to dead the thought, it never ends well.
There’s a saying that goes, “prevention is better than cure.” Money may not be an issue but what about the emotional and psychological stress that comes with such process? What happens if every time you check, all the eggs are SS, what happens if the eggs that a cleared for implantation never produce a baby. Are you ready to deal with the constant anxiety, heartbreak or disappointment that could come with this process. Yes you may be lucky and never have to deal with that but is that a chance you are willing and ready to take. I think the couple should seek proper counselling about this process because IVF is a pretty tedious process. Love is great but sometimes not enough!! I hope they make the best decision for themselves and their future babies.
Well, it’s quite unfortunate but the risk outweighs the pleasure….. the consequences of getting married is on the negative, you will have to deal with the usual marriage shenanigans and also have to deal with at least one sickle cell child …. The happy days might not cover up for the pain. For the love of yourself ,your partner and the unborn children make the hard choice now. Leave the relationship.
