Through our comprehensive approach—combining IVF, genetic screening, and personalized reproductive counselling—we help families make informed, confident decisions about their reproductive future.
Family balancing refers to the process of selecting the gender of your next child using medically approved reproductive technologies. For many couples, this is a personal and emotional decision. Some families already have children of one gender and wish to complete their family with a child of the opposite gender.
At Best Life Fertility Centre, our goal is to offer family balancing options in the UAE that uphold the highest medical and ethical standards. Our specialists guide each couple through the process with transparency, compassion, and professionalism. Every plan is customized to ensure your goals align with medical safety, legal guidelines, and optimal reproductive health.
Our family balancing Dubai program is designed for a wide range of couples who may benefit from gender selection and genetic screening during their fertility journey. Family balancing may be particularly useful if you:
1. Already have children of one gender
Many families come to us because they wish to experience raising a child of the opposite gender. This is one of the most common reasons couples seek family balancing services for couples in UAE.
2. Are undergoing IVF and want gender selection during treatment
For couples already pursuing IVF due to fertility challenges, gender selection can be seamlessly integrated into the same treatment cycle. This makes the process efficient and medically streamlined.
3. Carry sex-linked genetic conditions
Some families carry genetic conditions linked to a specific gender. In such cases, gender selection combined with PGT-M test in Dubai or PGT-A test UAE can help reduce the risk of passing on hereditary disorders.
Every couple’s situation is unique. Whether you need reproductive genetics, embryo genetic screening, or guidance on chromosomal testing before IVF, our specialists ensure that you receive a personalized assessment and a clear outline of available options.
Family balancing is performed using Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A) during an IVF cycle. This technique is considered the most reliable and medically sound method of determining embryo gender while ensuring chromosomal health.
Below is the step-by-step overview of how Family Balancing IVF UAE works:
1. Egg Retrieval and Fertilization
The process begins with controlled ovarian stimulation, followed by the retrieval of mature eggs. These eggs are fertilized in our advanced laboratory using either IVF or ICSI, depending on your medical requirements.
2. Embryo Development
Fertilized eggs develop into embryos over 5–6 days and reach the blastocyst stage, where they are ready for genetic testing.
3. Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A)
A small biopsy of cells is taken from each embryo. These cells are analyzed to:
Identify chromosomal abnormalities
Determine embryo gender
Evaluate overall genetic health
It ensures that only chromosomally normal embryos are considered for transfer, significantly improving success rates.
4. Embryo Transfer
After receiving the results, you and your fertility specialist choose a healthy embryo of the preferred gender. This embryo is then transferred into the uterus, completing the family balancing cycle.
All procedures are carried out in alignment with UAE medical regulations and ethical guidelines, ensuring complete safety and transparency.
When it comes to family balancing treatment in Dubai, choosing the right fertility clinic is crucial. Here’s what makes us the preferred choice for couples seeking ethical, safe, and successful gender selection:

Family balancing is a fertility treatment that allows couples to select the gender of their baby during an IVF cycle. It is commonly chosen by families who already have children of one gender and wish to complete their family with a boy or a girl, or by couples wanting to reduce the risk of gender-linked genetic conditions.
Couples who feel their family is missing a certain dynamic, such as having only boys or only girls, may find Family Balancing a meaningful choice. It’s also considered by those with genetic concerns related to gender. Every case is different, which is why our specialists take time to understand your personal and medical background before recommending any procedure.
Gender selection is performed through IVF combined with PGT-A. After egg retrieval and fertilization, embryos grow to the blastocyst stage. A few cells are then biopsied and genetically analyzed to check chromosomal health and determine gender. The couple can then choose a healthy embryo of the desired gender for transfer.
We use advanced reproductive technologies like:
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy)
These tools allow us to accurately determine the gender of embryos and select the healthiest ones for transfer.
Gender selection using IVF and PGT-A is considered safe when performed by an experienced fertility team. The embryo biopsy is minimally invasive and does not harm the embryo. Risks are very low and mainly relate to general IVF procedures, such as ovarian stimulation side effects. Your specialist will review all medical and ethical considerations during consultation.
Gender selection relies on Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A). This advanced genetic screening technology identifies chromosomal abnormalities and determines embryo gender with over 99% accuracy before embryo transfer. Some couples may also require PGT-M if screening for inherited genetic disorders.
