Introduction to Family Balancing
Family balancing refers to the practice of choosing the gender of your baby to create a more balanced family dynamic. This process is especially meaningful for couples who already have children of one gender and wish to complete their families with a child of the opposite gender. At Art Fertility, we understand the emotional significance of this decision and offer scientifically advanced, ethical, and safe solutions to support your goals.
Why Choose Family Balancing?
Many families choose family balancing for personal, psychological, or cultural reasons. Some common motivations include:
-
Desire for a gender-diverse family: Couples may want to experience raising both a son and a daughter.
-
Cultural expectations: In some cultures, a balanced family structure is highly valued.
-
Emotional closure: Some families feel that their family is incomplete without a child of the opposite gender.
Family balancing through fertility treatments provides a safe, medically supervised path to achieving these goals without relying on chance.
How Family Balancing Works at Art Fertility
At Art Fertility, we offer gender selection as part of our preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) services during the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process. Here’s how it works:
-
Ovarian Stimulation and Egg Retrieval: The female partner undergoes controlled ovarian stimulation to produce multiple eggs, which are then retrieved for fertilization.
-
Fertilization and Embryo Culture: The retrieved eggs are fertilized with the partner’s sperm to create embryos, which are cultured in our advanced lab for 5–6 days.
-
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): Using PGT-A (for aneuploidy), embryos are screened for chromosomal normalcy, which includes identification of the sex chromosomes (XX for female and XY for male).
-
Gender Selection and Embryo Transfer: Based on the results, embryos of the desired gender are selected for transfer. Only healthy, chromosomally normal embryos are used, increasing the chances of successful pregnancy.
This approach ensures that family balancing is carried out responsibly, with a strong focus on embryo health and overall success.
