In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) Procedure
In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a treatment commonly used all over the world to treat infertility and desired gender selection. In this procedure, a specialist doctor of the field gets the eggs from the female ovaries by inserting a small tube to the female ovary and fertilizes these eggs with desire gender sperms in a special embryology laboratory with (ICSI) Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection technology.
A single sperm is injected into an egg to trigger fertilization. As a result of this fertilization process in the laboratory, the eggs change into embryos. In the procedure, More than one egg gets fertilized and produces several embryos. A doctor separates the healthy embryos and destroys the embryos having any medical or genetic problem.
Two to three days after fertilization, a specialist gets a cell of each embryo to examine the chromosome. Those carrying a “Y” chromosome are separated from the “X” bearing chromosome. Three to five days later, the specialist injects one of the healthy embryos of only the desired gender back into the uterus and the normal pregnancy procedure gets stars. No additional procedures are now required, women feel all symptoms of normal pregnancy and normal delivery takes place.
Remaining healthy embryos can be destroyed or maybe frozen through Embryo Cryopreservation procedure and can be used later on for more future pregnancies of the same couple. IVF procedure has a higher success rate up to 100% but the only problem with this procedure is its cost. About more than $ 13,000 to $ 20,000 and in some countries up to $ 35,000 is charged for this procedure and everyone cannot afford it.
