IVF with Gender Selection in Boston, MA

Serving the greater Boston area

In vitro fertilization (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 Boston with offices in Boston, Quincy and Falmouth, we welcome patients who are interested in choosing the gender of their child.

IVF allows for gender selection and gives potential parents the opportunity to balance out their families as they see fit.

How does IVF gender selection work?

It is not uncommon for our patients to ask about the possibility of gender selection. 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 gender. No matter the reason for gender selection, the outcome can be achieved by examining the chromosomes of an embryo.

In the majority of people, 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 gender 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 gender of their child.
