A Brief on Embryo Transfer

Embryo transfer technique is the most important part of IVF (in vitro fertilization) procedure. If the physician fails to properly perform the embryo transfer or some other lapses occur, the IVF procedure will fail. Thus, it is necessary to take help of the best and experienced infertility doctors to increase the chances of a successful IVF procedure.

The process

The woman going through the IVF is first stimulated with medicines to produce multiple eggs which develop in the follicles. Eggs are removed from the ovary after proper maturity of the follicles to perform egg aspiration techniques. After four or five hours of egg aspiration, sperm is mixed with the egg. The fertilized egg (Embryo) is cultured for a period of 1 to 5 days and after that, an appropriate number of embryos are placed in the uterus of the woman.

Infertility doctors decide on the embryo to be transferred in the uterus after assessing the quality of the embryos or fertilized eggs. The whole process is complicated and it needs to be performed with utmost care.

Gender Prediction While Conceiving

An accurate method of predicting unborn baby’s gender is by medical test known as amniocentesis. It’s an invasive prenatal test that is performed by specialized infertility doctors to test mutations and to find out a baby’s gender. Gender prediction can also be done using ultrasound.

Couples may be interested in gender prediction to avoid gender specific genetic mutation present in one of the parents. For example, certain genetic mutations are carried in the X chromosomes, like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. If the mother has this genetic mutation in her X chromosome, then there is a 50% chance of having an affected male offspring while the female offspring would be unaffected. Baby gender is also found out for the purpose of family balancing.
