IVF with Gender Selection – The Only Effective Method for Family Balancing
When it comes to family balancing or gender selection, many people explore different approaches—some based on diets, others on unproven sperm filtration techniques. Let’s break it down clearly.
Some patients try specific diets in hopes of influencing the gender of their baby. However, medically and scientifically, these diets do not have any proven effectiveness. It’s one of those myths that people still follow, but unfortunately, it leads to false hope and wasted time.
Another commonly mentioned method is sperm sorting or filtration—a technique that claims to separate sperm carrying the X or Y chromosome, often used with intrauterine insemination (IUI). Again, this is not a scientifically reliable method. There’s no solid evidence that it increases the chances of choosing a baby’s gender. In fact, these procedures often result in disappointment and unnecessary expenses.
“Doing these methods, like diets or sperm filtration, is not only ineffective—it’s a waste of money,” says Dr. Muhammad Mazen Dayeh.
If you’re truly looking to balance your family and choose your baby’s gender, there’s only one accurate and medically proven option:
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)
Through this method, embryos are created via IVF and tested for all chromosomes before transfer. This gives you clear, precise information—not just about gender, but also about the overall health of the embryo.
What About the Cost?
Yes, IVF with PGT-A (genetic testing) is more premium compared to diets or IUI with sperm sorting. But when you consider the results and success rate, it becomes clear:
It’s an affordable investment for families who truly want a guaranteed and medically supported method.
You pay a bit more, but you get:
- High success rates (up to 80%)
- Confidence in results
- No wasted time or repeated failed attempts
So rather than spending money on unproven, ineffective methods, you’re investing in a procedure that actually works.
“IVF with gender selection today is affordable, effective, and worth it—especially when you want peace of mind and the best possible outcome.” – Dr. Muhammad Mazen Dayeh
