Success Stories

The Latest Edition to the Family

S.W. and her husband approached us as proud parents of two girls, both conceived through prior infertility treatment at another IVF center. After their second girl was born, they, for a while, decided that their family was complete. However, through media reports, they became aware that there was a reliable technique to choose the gender of children, and they decided to consult the Gender Selection Center.

In a first consultation, we explained to the couple that we indeed offered gender selection to qualifying couples, utilizing PGD. This technique allows us to determine the sex of each embryo created through the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Once we know the gender of an embryo, we simply put only the embryos of the desired gender into the uterus. This way, barring any technical errors, the probability of having a baby of the desired gender is nearly 100%.

The couple had two girls, now wanted a boy, and the female required IVF in order to conceive. The availability of a reliable method of gender selection changed this couple’s mind about the possibility of another pregnancy. Now that they could be fairly certain that a third pregnancy would yield a boy, they decided to try and expand their family one more time.

We are very pleased to report that they succeeded with delivery of a healthy boy. And the two girls are thrilled to have a little brother!
