Every week couples in America are looking into gender selection. Whether they want to select the sex of the baby because they've had all girls or all boys on their own, or just wanting the freedom of choice, preimplantation genetic diagnosis or PGD, is becoming more and more popular among couples.
PGD or pre-implantation genetic diagnosing is achieved by utilizing IVF. The woman's eggs are taken and injected with sperm to form the embryo. Once the embryo has formed, DNA sampling can determine the sex and then depending on your choice, male or female embryos can be placed back in the uterus.
Pre-implantation genetic diagnosing can be costly, usually running around $20,000. The flip side is that this procedure has almost a 100% success rate.
About Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute
Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute is Hawaii's first IVF clinic in Hawaii. Since 1985, we’ve quietly built a history of couples with successful pregnancies who previously had no hope of bearing children on their own. Now providing treatment for patients worldwide, Pacific In Vitro has been steadily expanding its international patient base.
The staff at Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute will take the time to ensure that all of your questions and concerns are addressed. Our clinic is open 7 days a week to make sure that we are accessible and responsive to our patients’ needs. We are committed to providing excellent medical care with a warm, compassionate approach. Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute is recognized as the state of the art IVF center in Hawaii that provides compassionate care in a pleasant environment, with the highest standards of ethics, professionalism, and integrity.
We now have an EmbryoScope, which is one of the latest advancements in In Vitro Fertilization technology, this allows embryologists to monitor the complete development of embryos without removing them from the incubators. Embryos are extremely sensitive to changes in temperature, light and oxygen so keeping them in a closed environment is most ideal for their development.
The EmbryoScope makes continuous documentation possible and also maximizes the information collected in this crucial stage. Embryologists are now able to screen abnormalities more effectively and select the best embryo for Embryo Transfer
