How accurate is PGD/PGS technology in sex selection?

We should say this technology has a very high accuracy. Some studies show over 99% success rate. Physicians can estimate the accuracy of the process according to the patients’ conditions.

Does sex selection cost extra money?

PGS can have an additional cost except IVF costs. But for some patients PGD is a part of treatment to screen embryos for potential genetic disorders. In this case, there will be no need for paying supplementary fee for sex selection because the sex of the embryos is identified through PGD.

Are you more likely to have a special-sex child using IVF?

You are about 3 to 6 percent more likely to have a boy through using IVF. Using IVF increases the chances of having a boy from 51% to 56%. Some researchers in China found that IVF conceived girls have a lower survival rate while having a higher growth defects rate.

Where to Find an Egg Donor

Before you start the procedure, you need to find an egg donor. For this purpose, you can consult with your doctor about your options. A number of common sources that are available for finding donor eggs are:

A family member or a friend
Egg bank
Egg donor agencies
Another infertile couple who would like to share their extra retrieved egg
Fertility clinic

Visiting the donor depends on the contract you sign. Sometimes you get the chance of meeting the donor and know her in person, and sometimes you never have any contact with them. Some donors will agree to be in touch with the future child. Therefore, before deciding about the donor, you had better have a discussion about it with a lawyer familiar with infertility law or an infertility counselor.

Egg Donor IVF Process

Choosing a donor

First of all, you need to choose a donor based on your desired features. The donor can be found among relatives or friends or a complete stranger who is medically screened and is suitable for donating her eggs. Based on the agreements, the identity of the donor can be known or anonymous to you.

Ovarian stimulation

In this step, the donor’s ovaries should be stimulated with the use of hormonal medications, in order to obtain as many oocytes as possible in a single menstrual cycle. More retrieved eggs mean higher chances of pregnancy. This process starts at the first days of the donor’s menstruation.

Donor’s follicular puncture

After the donor’s follicles have reached the optimal size, a puncturing process is carried out to recover oocytes from the ovaries. This process is done under light anesthesia or sedation and it takes no more than 30 minutes. After the procedure, there is no need for hospitalization and the donor can go home.

Recipient’s endometrium preparation

In this step, the recipient should get prepared for the transfer. The endometrium is the inner layer of the uterus that covers the embryo. The recipient should receive hormonal treatment to prepare her endometrium for embryo implantation.

In Vitro Fertilization

In this phase, the semen should be obtained from the male partner or from another donor. Sperms are washed in order to enhance their quality and then the best sperms would be chosen to fertilize the eggs in the laboratory environment. Intracytoplasmic Injection (ICSI) that is injecting the sperm into the egg can be used for certain patients.

Embryo transfer and Pregnancy

After few days when the embryos are grown and ready, they are transferred to the recipient’s uterus. After implanting the embryo, the couples should wait for two weeks. If the pregnancy blood test is positive, it means the pregnancy has happened and egg donor IVF worked well.
