Gender selection

Over the last few decades, many couples have decided to choose the gender of their baby. Some do it for personal reasons, some want a more balanced family (have both daughters and sons), and others hope to avoid genetic disorders linked to a specific sex. That’s why they use different sex selection techniques, from traditional methods (like diets and alkaline/acidic vaginal douches) to modern medicines. But the big question is: Is gender selection really possible, or is it just a myth? In this article, we’ll answer this question by explaining the science behind IVF sex selection.

Summary: Today, reproductive medicine does more than just treat infertility. New lab techniques let couples choose the gender of their baby. IVF, IUI, and genetic testing are the most common methods for gender selection, but here’s the catch: these treatments have become more expensive because of their high demand. If you are looking for an affordable yet high-quality place to receive gender selection services, this article is for you. Here we will take a look at the costs of these treatments in Iran and other countries around the world.

Some people use PGD to select the gender of their baby in order to balance their family, avoid gender-related genetic disorders, and increase the chance of conceiving. In IUI sex selection, the doctor examines sperms in the laboratory to find and transfer the ones with preferred chromosomes (XX or XY). The success rate of sex selection with IUI depends on the mother's age, but generally, it ranges from %2 to %20.

Choosing the gender of your child through PGD can prevent the transmission of gender-related genetic disorders and increase your chance of successful pregnancy. Despite having numerous advantages, many couples reconsider having IVF gender selection as it is a costly procedure and provokes ethical dilemmas.
