Preimplantation Genetic Testing is a crucial treatment option for your or your partner to consider while undergoing IVF at The Ark Clinic, providing you with the opportunity of identifying the sex of the embryo. Your dedicated doctor will discuss this option with you in further detail and address any concerns or worries you may have during your consultation.
Benefits of baby gender selection
If you or your partner are considering selecting your future baby’s sex and want to know if this is right for you, here are some of the common medical and elective reasons we’ve experienced at The Ark Clinic:
- You or your partner are experiencing a form of genetically transmitted diseases that are sex-based, and would like to mitigate the risk of your boy or girl receiving it.
- You and or your partner have had the unfortunate experience of losing a child and wish to have another of the same sex
- You and or your partner are more equipped to parent one sex or the other.
Available gender selection techniques
Innovation in reproductive technologies can identify the sex of your or your partner’s embryo in its initial stage. You or your partner can consider IVF with preimplantation genetic screening (PGS/PGT-A) if there are no disorders known and you’d like to test for genetic diseases and chromosomal abnormalities of each embryo before implantation. PGS/PGT-A is different from Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), which tests for a pre-specified genetic disease. You or your partner can consider in vitro fertilization (IVF) with preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) if there is already a high probability of a known disorder being passed down to your future baby.
