Pre-conception Gender Selection

Pre-conception gender selection involves medical procedures used to increase the chances of having a specific gender (male or female) before conception occurs. Techniques like Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) during IVF allow doctors to identify the gender of embryos, so only the desired gender is implanted. Other methods, such as sperm sorting, separate male and female sperm to select the preferred one before fertilization. These options are typically considered for family balancing or medical reasons and are performed under strict ethical and legal guidelines. It’s important to consult healthcare professionals to understand the procedures, success rates, and implications.
