The Gender Guarantee- IVF with PGD

The only way to guarantee the gender of your next baby is via elective IVF with PGD(Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis).

Generally, the process goes like this-

1. The woman undergoes pretesting to determine ovarian reserve, chances of success and protocol
2. The woman is given stimulation medication to force her ovaries to produce multiple eggs
3. The woman undergoes an Egg Retrieval procedure in which the eggs are removed from the ovaries
4. The eggs are cleaned and fertilized with the sperm sample from the man
5. A fertilized egg becomes an embryo and after 3 days of growth, the embryo is biopsied and a single cell is removed from each embryo*
6. The cell is analyzed with the patient's choice of testing method(Natera, CGH, PCR, FISH, etc)
7. 5 days after Egg Retrieval, the Egg Transfer happens and the desired gender is transferred back into the woman's uterus.
8. Pregnancy beta is typically 10 days after transfer to determine if the procedure worked or not.

*Day 5 biopsy is available now and this is said to be where the industry is headed for better results with PGD. If a Day 5 biopsy is used, all 24 chromosomes are evaluated and transfer can happen 6 days after egg retrieval. This is now the main method of PGD in the USA.
