MicroSort IUI for Gender Selection

This treatment method is very much like conventional IUI apart from the fact that male partner's sperm is sorted into those that produce male and female offsprings through the microsort procedure. The microsort sperm is then is used for artificial insemination where it is injected intra-uterine.

Microsort for gender selection with IUI treatment has a 90% accuracy for gender selection for a girl and 75% accuracy for gender selection for a boy. Regarding success rates, Microsort IUI has similar success rates to IUI treatment success rates. IUI is a lower chance treatment procedure compared to IVF, therefore, for patients older than 30, it is recommended that they go straight for IVF treatment rather than facing potential numerous failed attempts with IUI.

For patients seeking risk-free gender selection methods with 99.9% accuracy, then microsort IVF with PGD is recommended.
 

 

MicroSort IVF Treatment for Gender Selection

One of the available options at our clinic is MicroSort IVF. This technology allow us to sort the sperm into female and male producing cells with 75% accuracy for a boy and 90% accuracy for a girl. This is a rather inexpensive method, but it does not allow us to test for genetic disorders on the embryo and you should keep in mind that it is not a 100% method for sex selection.

This treatment method is very much like conventional IVF apart from the fact that male partner's sperm is sorted into those that produce male and female offsprings through the microsort procedure. The microsort sperm is used to fertilize the eggs that are retrieved from the female partner's ovaries at the end of the ovulation induction process. The eggs are fertilized in a laboratory environment and are placed in an incubator until they reach a certain level of development and are then transferred into the uterus for implantation. The medication used in IVF treatment is slightly different from the IUI protocol. Patients who are in their late 20s or in their 30s are often advised to go straight for IVF treatment rather than IUI for higher chances of success.

Microsort for gender selection with IVF treatment has a 90% accuracy for gender selection for a girl and 75% accuracy for gender selection for a boy. Regarding success rates, Microsort IVF has similar success rates to IVF treatment success rates. For patients seeking risk-free gender selection methods with 99.9% accuracy, then microsort with PGD is recommended.

In Microsort IVF, ICSI is a routine procedure that we use.

 

 

IVF with PGD for Gender Selection
Alternatively, there is PGD which is a genetic testing procedure done once the embryos are created. It allows us to identify the gender with 99.9% accuracy as well as screening for most common genetic disorders, making sure your baby does not possess a serious genetic condition. This method is a bit more expensive compared to microsort IVF but is more accurate.

 

Gender selection through PGD works just like conventional IVF, where eggs and sperm are fertilized in the laboratory environment. Then, embryos are placed in an incubator for optimal growth. Once the embryos reach the 8-cell growth stage (usually day 3 after fertilization), biopsy is performed where a single cell is retrieved from each embryo for diagnosis. This biopsy allows us to test for certain genetic conditions and determine the sex. Apart from the sex of the baby, we test chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18 and 21, which are the causes of almost 90% of all genetic-linked abnormalities, such as down's syndrome.
 

MicroSort IVF with PGD for Gender Selection
The best gender selection method we are able to offer is combining microsort and PGD. This way, we can make sure that majority of the fertilized eggs are of desired sex with a 75-90% precision and subjecting them to further genetic testing puts this up close to 100% and allows you to have the healthy embryos transferred for implantation. This is what we recommend, especially for patients older than 35, who tend to have limited egg reserves. This way, we are able to offer you a very good chance of getting the gender that you want even if there are just a few eggs to work with.

 

Gender Selection IVF with Microsort and PGD works in two stages. First, the male partner's sperm is sorted into those that produce male and female offsprings through the microsort procedure. The microsort sperm is used to fertilize the eggs that are retrieved from the female partner's ovaries at the end of the ovulation induction process. Then, embryos are placed in an incubator for optimal growth. Once the embryos reach the 8-cell growth stage (usually day 3 after fertilization), biopsy is performed where a single cell is retrieved from each embryo for diagnosis. This biopsy allows us to test for certain genetic conditions and determine the sex. Apart from the sex of the baby, we test chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18 and 21, which are the causes of almost 90% of all genetic-linked abnormalities, such as down's syndrome. Our clinic is the only clinic in Northern Cyprus with an in-house PGD lab, so all our biopsies are screened within premises.

Microsort for gender selection with IVF treatment has a 90% accuracy for gender selection for a girl and 75% accuracy for gender selection for a boy. Regarding success rates, Microsort IVF has similar success rates to IVF treatment success rates. For patients seeking risk-free gender selection methods with 99.9% accuracy, then microsort with PGD is recommended. This option allows couples to maximize the amount of embryos they have of desired sex where it also gives them 99.9% accuracy for gender selection as well as genetic screening.
