BIOLOGICAL FILTER PROCEDURE
Biological filter procedure is another advanced technique for gender selection naturally; especially procedure is more effective for male baby pregnancy. But due to social and ethical limitations, this process is offered only those couples having two or more girls and wants a boy to balance their family.
The procedure is also offered for those families having some medical problems and cannot goes in normal pregnancy procedures or those women having menopause period very close and have limited time to be able to conceive. In this process, couples are examined completely whether they have the ability to get pregnant or not. The biological procedure is applied to those couples found fit and have no infertility problem.
In the Biological filter procedure, male semen is examined in the laboratory and the size of X bearing sperm and Y bearing sperm is calculated. As we know that the size of the male Y sperm cell is smaller than the X sperm cell. According to the size of the Y-bearing sperm cell, a biological filter is installed in the female uterus.
At the time of ovulation sperm are injected in the female uterus naturally or artificially, due to the tiny size of the Y sperm, they pass through a biological filter but X-bearing sperm cells having a larger size could not cross the filter. As a result, only Y-bearing sperm approach the Egg in the fallopian tube, fertilize it and the male baby embryo is developed. The experts of this field claim a higher success rate up to 97% but not 100% because the chance is also there that X-bearing sperm may also pass the filter and can change the result. It’s also an affordable procedure and its cost is charged around $1500 (approx).
