About Gender Selection

Gender Selection at New England Fertility

Advances in assisted reproduction medical technology offer fertility patients a safe and successful way to help ensure their family grows as planned, and gender selection (also known as “family balancing”) enables families to choose the desired gender of their baby during the IVF process.

The gender selection process takes place during Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS). With the highly trained laboratory staff at New England Fertility, we can distinguish the gender of your embryos and implant only those that suit your desired preference.

Is Gender Selection Right for Me?

If you have always dreamed of having a boy or fantasized about raising a little girl, gender selection helps ensure that your preferred gender is implanted. Many of our patients use this option for medical or personal reasons, including:

  • Wanting to avoid passing certain gender-specific genetic conditions to offspring
  • Family balancing concerns
  • Emotional reasons, such as the loss of a child of a certain gender

You made what seemed impossible into a wonderful reality. You are a caring doctor, and we are so glad that you were the one to help us achieve our goal of starting our family.
