Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is gender selection and how does it work?
Gender selection is a fertility service that allows intended parents to choose the biological sex of their future child during an IVF cycle. This is typically done using preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) to determine whether an embryo has XX (female) or XY (male) chromosomes before transfer.
2. Who might consider gender selection?
People pursue gender selection for a range of reasons from family balancing (wanting a child of a particular sex) to reducing the risk of sex-linked genetic conditions that can affect children of a specific sex.
3. How accurate is gender selection using IVF and genetic testing?
When gender selection is done through IVF combined with preimplantation genetic testing, clinics can determine embryo sex with very high accuracy (often close to ~98–100%).
4. Are there ethical or legal considerations with gender selection?
Yes, gender selection raises ethical questions and is regulated differently around the world. Some regions restrict non-medical gender selection, while others permit it. Discussing your goals, values, and local laws with your fertility specialist is recommended before proceeding.
5. Does gender selection increase the cost or complexity of an IVF cycle?
Yes, adding gender selection typically requires extra steps like embryo biopsy and genetic testing, which can increase the cost and duration of the IVF cycle compared to a standard IVF procedure.
