How do I begin treatment?

The first step in treatment is to gather all the necessary information, i.e. the test results mentioned above. One we have all the test results, we are able to identify the right treatment protocol as well as the precise dose of medication to be administered. Once you send us your test results, we will be able to provide our feedback and lay down all the options based on your unique fertility assessment.

At this point, we are able to map out your treatment calendar and issue your prescription. We work with an international pharmacy in the UK which delivers worldwide, so you will be able to order your medication online and receive them at your door. There are clear instructions on how to administer the medication as well as daily instructions of what you need to do on your treatment calendar.

Once you begin with the preliminary treatment, you will begin using your medication locally and you will need to visit your local gynecologist in order to observe your response to medication and reassess the dose of medication if necessary. These local scans can be done at your local gynecologist or scanning clinic. We work with a number of places in the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, Turkey, Germany, France, Holland and Spain for scans. Therefore, should you not have a local doctor, we may be able to recommend a place or two.

Which tests will you require for treatment?

We require a series of tests for fertility assessment / fitness for pregnancy as well as infectious disease screening. Each and every test that we order serves a different purpose and each one of these tests will have an implication for your treatment.

For assessment of fertility, we ask each female patient to have the following testing done on day 2 or day 3 of their menstrual cycle: FSH, LH, Estradiol, Prolactin, TSH and AMH hormone tests. The AMH test is independent from your menstrual cycle and can be done at any time, but our patients find it easier to have all the tests done on the same day during their visit to their doctor. It will also be important to have a base line pelvic ultrasound scan during this visit for antral follicle count in the ovaries and to check that there are no major visible problems in the uterus that can interfere with a successful pregnancy.

The male patient is required to have a semen analysis done. Especially if he has not had a child in the near past, it will be important to observe sperm parameters such as count/volume/motility/morphology/pH level and round cell count. In some cases, a small infection in sperm can compromise the whole process, therefore, it is important to be prepared for possible precautions that we may need to take.

All patients undergoing treatment at our practice are required to undergo infectious disease screening. This includes patients undergoing donor treatments as well. There are three main reasons for infectious disease screening:

1- To protect the spread of infectious diseases at our lab and to avoid exposing other patients to these diseases.

2- To avoid exposing embryos to infectious diseases that might come from their parents.

3- To protect lab personnel from exposure to infectious diseases when handling egg and sperm cells.

The validity of infectious disease testing is six (6) months. As long as patients have their testing done within the 6 month period prior to their treatment time, we do not require a repeat test. However,if patients do not have current test results, then we will administer these tests here at our practice prior to handling any samples.

Only the test results from reputable clinics and hospitals will be accepted, and original test results will need to be presented at the time of your first visit.  Photocopies and scanned email attachments are only accepted as temporary proof of testing until we see the originals.

The infectious disease tests required by our practice are as follows:

For female patient: Anti-HIV, Anti-HCV, HbsAg, VDRL, Rubella IgG, CMV IgG, and Toxoplasmosis IgG

For male patient: Anti-HIV, Anti-HCV, HbsAg, VDRL.

What is the age limit for gender selection treatment?

There is no specific age limit for the gender selection treatment, but there is an age limit for IVF treatment. This is in relation to how likely you are to achieve success. If not using a donor, then we will want to make sure your eggs are viable and we have a shot at pregnancy with your own eggs. This is one of the reasons why we ask that patients undergo a series of testing for assessment of their fertility levels prior to proceeding with treatment. Based on these test results, we are able to form an opinion of how likely we are to obtain a good count and quality of eggs in an IVF cycle and how likely these eggs are to produce a healthy pregnancy. We try to emphasize that over the age of 35, the level of fertility tends to decline for female patients and that affects the chances of success with treatment. Over the age of 40, pregnancy rates drop dramatically and unless the patients have a satisfactory level of hormone profile that provides them with some chance of success, we recommend against treatment with own eggs.

Why do I need to use medication if I don’t have any fertility issues?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions from patients undergoing treatment for gender selection. Given that most patients require gender selection for their second or third or even fourth pregnancies, they are mostly fertile individuals who are able to achieve pregnancy through natural means. This raises the question why they need to use fertility medication like other patients who are not able to conceive naturally. The answer is simple. Whether you are able to conceive naturally or not, in any IVF treatment, we will need to obtain multiple eggs and therefore multiple embryos so that we can maximize your chances of success. Without any use of fertility medication, your ovaries are likely to release only one egg in a given menstrual cycle. This single egg may or may not be of optimal quality. Especially in gender selection treatments, we need multiple eggs so that we can have multiple embryos, which will allow us to find at least one embryo that is healthy genetically and that is of desired sex.

Not all the eggs will fertilize into good quality embryos and not all the fertilized embryos will survive until the day of embryo transfer, and not all the embryos that have survived will turn out to be healthy and of desired sex. This is why we need to administer a custom prepared medication protocol which will optimize the number of eggs to be harvested so that we can offer you the highest chance of success possible.

What are my chances of success with gender selection treatment?

The chances of success will depend on a number of factors. These include your age, your hormone levels and general level of fertility as well as your husband's semen characteristics and other factors like the equipment used, doctors' experience and choice of medication. So it is really misleading to quote a success statistics in general or based on just your age. However, the age based statistics we publish on our website more or less provides an idea of what you will be looking at. However, your individual hormone profile and your ovarian reserves are the most important determinant of how likely you are to achieve success. Patients up till mid-30s usually have a very good chance of getting pregnant on the first attempt as long as they have an ovarian reserve and a hormone profile in line with their age. Above the age of 35, the level of fertility declines and the chances of success start to diminish.

In some cases, when we are able to obtain a good count and quality of eggs, we end up having multiple embryos of desired sex and if there are more embryos than required for the given transfer cycle, we are able to preserve the ones that will not be used in the current cycle. This gives you a chance to use these preserved embryos at a future date without having to go through the entire treatment again.
