Cross matching is never done by this method indeed you have to 1-add one drop of serum or plasma of the patient with one drop of the donor either by MTS system or by tube Mthd. 2-Cheeck if there is any reaction if there is any you have to identify the antibodies at the surfece of the antigen of the RBC. 3. prepare 0.8 blood suspension from the blood of donor against the serum of the patient. 4.Use Mts system for screning of donor with serum of the patient SC1,SC2 against all panel antibodies which is 11 or 16 if there is any reaction with any of the antibodies. 5- do confirm which antibodies and do it again with the same just to confirm. this all before trying to do any x matching still as you have life at your hand so you have to asure that you are doing the right thing . 6-Once you know the antibodies now you can do cross matching .

Blood group difference is not an issue in this case . Medically speaking you have to see your family DR you and your husband for further investigation like sperm test for male and for famale if the overian tube is working and ova is being passed every month .Cheeck with your DR first .

Blood types are inherited from the presence/absence of both parents alleles [or genes]. Meaning that a total of 30 combinations of blood type can be created. It is common for a pregnant women to carry a fetus with a blood type different from her own.
