Gender Selection
Thanks to modern screening and testing of embryos during in vitro fertilization (IVF), a fertility doctor can determine the gender of a child before the implantation process via preimplantation genetic testing.
Reproductive technologies have advanced significantly, and now lab tests can identify the gender of an embryo in the earliest stages of development. In conjunction with IVF, preimplantation genetic screening and diagnosis tests allow patients the option of gender selection.
Reasons for Gender Selection During IVF
A couple or individual may choose gender selection for a variety of reasons. Nonetheless, a lot of intended parents frequently decided to use gender selection in order to “balance” their families.In order to maintain a balanced family, the intended parent or parents may choose a gender during IVF if they have always desired a girl but have only had sons.
In some situations, the intended parents may feel more psychologically prepared to parent one gender than the other, or a couple may have lost a child and want to have another of the same sex.
Intended parents may feel more equipped to raise their future children thanks to the amazing service of gender selection, which is made available by science. But, given the higher expense and potential for regret if a parent later wishes they had chosen to find out their child’s gender naturally, this choice does need to be carefully considered.
The PGD and PGS/PGT-A testing process for gender selection
Following fertilization and the union of the egg and sperm, the embryos can be examined by an embryologist.
You can utilize the PGD, PGS, and PGT-A tests to find out your child’s gender. The presence of two X chromosomes in a female embryo or an X and a Y chromosome in a male embryo can be determined by fertility specialists. This allows for the precise identification of a baby’s gender.
