CCRM FERTILITY OF CHICAGO
IVF with sex selection in Chicago, IL
Serving the Chicagoland area
In vitro fertilization, or IVF, is one of the most reliable fertility treatments. It is a multi-step procedure that assists with many of the stages of conception to significantly increase the chance of a healthy pregnancy.
During treatment, we stimulate the ovaries so that mature eggs can be retrieved and then fertilized in a laboratory setting. After successful fertilization, healthy embryos are transferred to the uterus.
At CCRM Fertility of Chicago, patients are happy to have any viable embryo transferred, but some are interested in choosing the gender of their child.
IVF allows for chromosomal sex selection (often referred to colloquially as gender selection) and gives potential parents the opportunity to balance out their families as they see fit.
How does IVF sex selection work?
It is not uncommon for our patients to ask about the possibility of gender selection, also known as family balancing. Some feel strongly about the gender they would like their only child to be, while others are already parents and are interested in balancing out their family by having a child of the opposite sex. No matter the reason for sex selection, the outcome can be achieved by examining the chromosomes of an embryo.
Females have two X chromosomes, so a mother will always pass an X chromosome onto her child. Males have both an X and Y chromosome, so sex depends on whether sperm delivers an X or Y chromosome. If we examine an embryo’s chromosomes prior to embryo transfer, which is possible through IVF and genetic screening, parents have the opportunity to select the sex of their child.
