Fulfill Your Dream
of Having the Baby You Desire
Gender selection, also known as sex selection, is a method where parents can choose their child's gender before birth using Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). PGT tests the genetic material of IVF-created embryos to determine their sex, allowing parents to select the desired embryo for implantation.
What Drives the Decision for Gender Selection?
Family Balancing
Many with children of one gender want a child of the opposite gender for balance.
The sperm donation volunteers here are just as excellent as the donors in the sperm bank. It's just that you will need 3 to 6 months to undergo a comprehensive medical and psychological screening, as well as legal procedures, which will provide you with more options.
Medical Reasons
To avoid hereditary diseases linked to gender, like hemophilia, which primarily affect males, by selecting female embryos.

Achieve your family’s desires
If you have a preference for a specific sex, gender selection can help you achieve the balance you desire in your family.
Prevent hereditary diseases
In cases of sex-linked diseases, this treatment offers an option to prevent passing these conditions onto your children.
Embryo freezing option
If multiple high-quality embryos of different sexes are identified, you can choose which ones to transfer during the fresh IVF cycle and store the rest for future treatments, giving you the ability to have more children in the future with the selected sex.
How It Works:
Gender Selection
We believe in a transparent, step-by-step process that puts your mind at ease. Here’s an overview of how we support you throughout the surrogacy journey

During this appointment you will work with your physician to develop an embryo creation plan. While the variety of options can seem overwhelming, don’t worry - you’ll work in partnership with your care team to determine which option works best for your family.
Prior to any embryo transfer into a gestational carrier, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires extensive screening for both the sperm and egg source, involving a questionnaire, physical exam, and blood tests.
The embryo creation process looks different for each family. If you are using your own gametes (eggs & sperm), you will undergo In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to create embryos. Once your embryos are created they will undergo preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) to identify the best embryo for transfer to your Gestational Carrier.
If an agency has not already been secured, we will refer you and assist in the process to start the search for a surrogate. Our patient care coordinator will work collaboratively with you and the agency to expedite the process, and ensure that you have chosen a surrogate that is right for you. Once the surrogate is identified, she will complete her psychological and medical screening.
The selected embryo will be thawed by an embryologist. The embryo transfer will be performed at Power Fertility Center by one of our physicians and your Gestational Carrier will be able to return home the same day with no required anesthesia.
Your Gestational Carrier will receive a blood test at 9 days post embryo transfer to determine if the transfer was successful. If positive, she will repeat the test 2 days after the first to confirm pregnancy. At 7 weeks, she will have an OB ultrasound, and at 9 weeks she will have a repeat ultrasound. At this time you will graduate from Power Fertility Center. Congratulations!
