Choose the gender of your child!

We proudly offer Family Balancing services.

(Pre-conception gender selection)

The Andrology Institute of America is proud to offer you, our Family Balancing/Gender Selection services before birth for couples who want to choose the sex of their child. Our Gender Selection program is designed to help couples achieve their dream of having a baby of a specific gender. We offer a range of safe and effective scientifically-proven methods of sperm sorting via IUI, PGD and ART.

What is Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis? (PGD) is a medical procedure which allows embryos to be tested for gender-related genetic conditions, prior to being placed in the womb, giving the best opportunity to select the healthiest embryos and simultaneously choose the gender of your baby.

There are many different medical, social, economic or cultural circumstances which put couples under the most intense pressure to produce a child of a specific gender. Scientists have identified thousands of health problems where genes play a part and many gender-related medical disorders can be passed from parent to child.

This process has been very successful even with infertility issues and has been utilized by us for the last 25 years. "Family Balancing" is the title which is the most frequent indication for gender selection, when one gender is already represented in the family unit and the other gender is desired. However, in other cases, indications may be for parents who are carriers of various genetic diseases who may want to reduce the risk of having genetically affected children and can choose to have babies of the gender associated with a less severe form of the disease. We are simply the best in what we do and can take care of all of your needs.

Sperm Sorting and IUI

In the first option, sperm manipulation as a ​means for preconception sex determination is ​carried out to increase the percentage of sperm ​of the desired gender used for intrauterine ​insemination or In Vitro Fertilization. This ​highly sophisticated and efficient modality ​utilizes our laboratories, which provide ​separated sperm specimens using their ​technology. Incidentally, Prof. Zavos, the ​Director of our AIA Center performed the first ​ever IUI procedure in the World in 1978.

Embryo Screening with PGD

The new scientific advances offer virtually ​guaranteed results. Recent advances in the ​fields of genetics, genetic diagnosis, embryo ​biopsy and preimplantation genetic diagnosis ​(PGD) have opened up a new world of ​opportunity for couples interested in ​achieving a healthy pregnancy. As a result of ​safe new techniques developed to allow ​physicians and scientists the opportunity to ​study the genetic well being of an embryo ​PRIOR to its return to the womb, procedures ​such as guaranteed sex selection have become ​a reality.

Success Rate

Our success rate with gender selection using the ​modified sedimentation method employed at our ​Institute by Prof. Zavos is approximately 86% for ​male and 74% for female selection. Our statistics ​are among the best in the field of gender selection ​and have been for the last 25 years. Meanwhile, ​the success rate for gender selection using the ​IVF/PGD method is 100% for male or for female ​selection
