I and my fianc both have genotype as.its really sad but is there any medication that can change the genotype or is there a way to avoid ss babies?

IVF: There is no medication to alter the genotype. The only way to avoid having a baby with hemoglobin ss would be in vitro fertilization with preimplantation dna testing. Costly process.
