Family Balancing

A Personalized Journey Towards Gender Selection

At Best Life Fertility Centre, we understand that many families dream of having both boys and girls. Our Family Balancing program offers couples the opportunity to choose the gender of their baby using advanced reproductive technologies, all while maintaining ethical and medical integrity.

What is Family Balancing?

Family balancing allows couples to plan their family structure by selecting the gender of their next child. This is often desired for personal, emotional, or cultural reasons, especially in families that already have children of one gender and wish to complete their family with a child of the opposite gender.

At Best Life, our focus is on providing this option in a respectful and medically sound manner, under the guidance of experienced fertility specialists.

Who Can Benefit From Family Balancing?

Family balancing may be suitable for couples who:

  1. Have children of one gender and wish to have the opposite gender

  2. Are undergoing IVF for fertility treatment and would like to select gender as part of the process

  3. Carry sex-linked genetic conditions and want to reduce the risk of transmission 

Each case is unique, and our team is here to provide personalized advice and support.

How is Gender Selection Performed?

Family balancing is achieved through Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A) during an IVF cycle. The process includes:

  1. Egg Retrieval and Fertilization: Eggs are collected and fertilized in our laboratory.
  2. Embryo Development: Embryos are grown to the blastocyst stage.
  3. Genetic Testing (PGT-A): A few cells are taken from each embryo to test for chromosomal health and determine the gender.
  4. Embryo Transfer: Only healthy embryos of the desired gender are selected for transfer.

All procedures are performed in accordance with UAE laws and ethical guidelines.
