Gender Preselection

Artificial procedures are conducted in laboratories and usually a few visits are all it take to accomplish the whole process whereas to preselect gender naturally, you have to work a lot harder because the success rate is determined to a large extend by several factors pertaining to your personal fertility, which you must first learn to be aware of its occurrence and at the same time, consistent monitoring is required in order to pinpoint the timing of ovulation and a high quality software is therefore considered as a basic necessity in order for you to learn, plan, monitor and pinpoint the timing of your ovulation. Beside your personal fertility and to ensure a conductive environment is made available to the y-sperm, which in this case is the gender determining factor for a baby boy. Mineral and heat factors as well as several procedures during sexual intercourse are also to be adhered in order to produce optimum results. 

Artificial procedures are usually carried out due to medical reasons as well as for couple who really appreciate convenience. On the other hand, natural approach is meant for those who do not mind the hassles of learning, monitoring and may even consider the pre-intercourse requirements and procedures as 'Joy of Life'. Kindly note that in some cases, the learning process alone may take up to 6 months before you are confident of your own fertility patterns.

Sperm Sorting or Cytometric Separation Technology is one of the better known artificial  procedure discovered researchers in 1970 that the Y-chromosome-bearing sperm could be stained with a dye, making sex selection studies possible. Subsequently many methods for the separation of X- and Y-chromosome- bearing sperm were tested, a technique developed by Dr. Ronald Ericsson is one of the more common medical methods used in the US, where there is a worldwide patent on the process known as MicroSort. The process separates out the x- and Y-chromosome bearing sperm by allowing the sperm to swim through increasingly thicker concentrations of human serum albumin. When the X- or Y- enriched sperm is collected, the physician transfers the sample into the uterus of the wife close to the time of ovulation.

PGD or embryo selection is another artificial procedure with relatively high rate of effectiveness. It is essentially a form of in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Once the embryo in the 'test tube' has reached a multi-cell state, it is possible to tease off one of the cells. This single cell is then tested for the presence or absence of a Y chromosome. Thus, an IVF can be accomplished with all embryos of a single sex. PGD was developed specifically for the identification of embryos with genetic abnormalities, but is now also available for general sex selection, which is legal in many country ... download GenderLabs™ for more information
