Now if you have a couple of thousand pounds lying handy ( which I ' m sure not many of us have these days! ) There ' s a procedure called ' Microsort ' This gender selection method sorts out the sperm, male and female. Now that sounds fairly easy, the next bit is the hard bit.
You will then have to undergo IVF ( inVitro fertilization ) or IUI ( intrauterine insemination ) With IVF your eggs will be harvested and mixed with either male or female sperm. If the sperm goes on to fertilize the egg, you will then have the sex selection embryo implanted into your uterus.
With IUI the sperm will be deposited into your uterus by artificial ways. This is a lot less invasive for the woman, and can also work out cheaper.
The problem with the above procedures is that neither one can guarantee you a baby! On the other hand, if you do get pregnant from these gender selection procedures, the chance of you having the gender of your choice is a lot more promising. At around 90 % success rate with a girl, and 80 % success rates for boys, you would be well on your way to the baby of your dreams.
As baby sex selection becomes more widely available, will planning to have a baby also include planning its gender too?
