WHAT IS IVF “Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis” (PGD)?
IVF gender selection is a type of IVF treatment, also known as “PGD” gender selection treatment ” or “sex selection,” which is a technique used during the process of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to choose the sex of the embryo before implantation in the uterus.
The process involves several steps:
- Ovarian Stimulation: The woman is given fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
- Egg Retrieval: Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved from the woman’s ovaries through a minor surgical procedure known as follicular aspiration.
- Fertilization: In a laboratory setting, the retrieved eggs are fertilized with the partner’s sperm through conventional IVF or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).
- Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): After fertilization, the embryos undergo genetic testing known as PGT to determine the sex of each embryo. This testing examines the chromosomes to identify the gender.
- Embryo Selection: Once the gender of the embryos is identified, the couple or individual undergoing IVF can choose the embryos of the desired sex for transfer into the uterus.
- Embryo Transfer: The selected embryos are transferred into the woman’s uterus, and if successful, implantation occurs, leading to a potential pregnancy.
