Boy or Girl? How to Choose Your Baby’s Sex with IVF + PGTA

Choosing your future baby’s sex before pregnancy is now a safe, reliable, and scientifically proven option.

At Ventris Fertility Center, located in Piedras Negras, Coahuila—just minutes from Eagle Pass, Texas—we use state-of-the-art technology to help you select a healthy embryo of the desired sex through IVF and PGTA.

In this blog, we explain how the process works, its safety, who is a good candidate, and what you can expect.

Is it really possible to choose your baby’s sex?

Yes.

Sex selection is possible through PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies), a genetic test performed on embryos created during IVF.

PGT-A identifies whether an embryo is XX (girl) or XY (boy) and determines if it is genetically normal (euploid).

How does IVF + PGT-A allow you to choose the baby’s sex?

El proceso incluye varios pasos cuidadosamente realizados por el laboratorio:

1. Ovarian Stimulation

The patient receives gentle medication to produce multiple eggs.

2. Fertilization in the Laboratory

Eggs are fertilized with sperm using ICSI to create embryos.

3. Embryo Biopsy

On day 5 or 6, a few cells are safely removed from each embryo.

This does not harm the embryo, as these cells do not form the baby.

4. Genetic Analysis (PGT-A)

Every embryo is tested to determine:

• Its sex (XX or XY)

• Its chromosomal health

• Whether it is euploid or abnormal

  
  

5. Selecting the Desired Sex

The healthiest embryo of the desired sex is chosen for transfer..

6. Embryo Transfer

The selected embryo is transferred to the uterus to achieve pregnancy.

Is sex selection safe?

Yes.

Modern embryo biopsy techniques are highly precise and do not affect embryo viability. Scientific evidence supports its safety and accuracy.

Who usually seeks sex selection?

Common reasons include:

• Families seeking family balancing

• Couples wanting to plan their family more precisely

• Patients wishing to avoid sex-linked genetic conditions

• Individuals traveling from Texas for better pricing and privacy
