Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) allows for the screening of embryos during In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) in order to identify chromosome abnormalities caused by aneuploidy.

Learn MoreA "balanced family" is one with equal representation of both the genders in the family. Many parents feel a strong desire to balance their families with the addition of a male child or a female child.
In today’s times by using Genetic Technology as part of an IVF cycle, we can identify the gender of an embryo, prior to implantation/pregnancy.
We offer this technology to all the couples who already have at least one child & who would like to have another child of a different gender than the first. This program is referred to as "Family Balancing."
The wife has to undergo IVF (in vitro fertilization) where in the eggs are collected from her ovaries & then they are fertilized with the sperms collected from the husband.
After the fertilization happens, embryos are formed which are then tested in the genetic lab using the technology called as PGT-A (Pre implantation genetic testing – Aneuploidy). The PGT-A was previously called as PGS/PGD (Pre-implantation genetic screening/Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis).
The genetic test can determine whether the embryos are chromosomally normal or abnormal. The test also gives the information about whether an embryo is a male or a female. As per the requirement of the couple, we transfer the embryo with their desired gender. If pregnancy happens, the gender of the baby is already known.
