Preimplantation Genetic Testing is a crucial treatment option for your or your partner to consider while undergoing IVF at The Ark Clinic, providing you with the opportunity of identifying the sex of the embryo. Your dedicated doctor will discuss this option with you in further detail and address any concerns or worries you may have during your consultation.
Available gender selection techniques
Innovation in reproductive technologies can identify the sex of your or your partner’s embryo in its initial stage. You or your partner can consider IVF with preimplantation genetic screening (PGS/PGT-A) if there are no disorders known and you’d like to test for genetic diseases and chromosomal abnormalities of each embryo before implantation. PGS/PGT-A is different from Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), which tests for a pre-specified genetic disease. You or your partner can consider in vitro fertilization (IVF) with preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) if there is already a high probability of a known disorder being passed down to your future baby.
