Gender Selection

What is Gender Selection?

It is done by extracting a cell from the embryo with special instruments and then studying these cells. The genetic study  inform us of the sex of the embryos allowing us to replace the sex that is only needed helping people to balance their families.

How is Gender Selection done?

  • The woman is thoroughly investigated for reasons that decrease success rate or stop us from doing the operation and treated if any is found.
  • An ovarian stimulation protocol is custom tailored and explained to you and started in the appropriate timing.
  • Your follicle number and size and uterine lining is monitored by ultrasound and hormone testing on certain days you will be told about.
  • When follicles and uterine lining reach adequate size another medicine is added to induce ovulation.
  • You will be told to come to the hospital for egg pick up fasting from 6-9 hours and will be asked to bring an ID with you.
  • Your eggs will be aspirated using a special needle installed on the vaginal ultrasound under sedation.
  • The man’s sperm will be collected at the same time.
  • The eggs are then fertilized with the male sperm and left in a special incubator which has the same atmosphere as the inside of a uterus and they are checked at a specific timetable to monitor the division of the cells.
  • At a specific time the shell around the developing embryo is opened by laser machines and a professional specialist takes out a cell without harming the rest of the embryo.
  • This cell is then studied for its genetic characteristics which involves knowing the sex of the embryo.
  • At a specific time chosen embryos are replaced inside the uterus using special catheters and under supervision of ultrasound while remaining embryos are cryopreserved or disregarded.
  • You will be asked to perform a pregnancy test after 14 days to know the results.
