Many patients wonder: Can you choose gender with IVF? The answer is yes, through advanced techniques like preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). Understanding how gender selection works, its costs, and ethical considerations can help you make an informed decision.
How Does Gender Selection Work in IVF?
Gender selection happens during IVF using PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy). After fertilization, embryos develop for several days. Specialists then test embryos for chromosomal information, including sex. Only embryos of the desired gender are selected for transfer.
This process is highly accurate, but it requires additional steps and costs beyond standard IVF. At Pozitvif Fertility, the price for IVF with PGT-A is $13,995, which is significantly lower than the national average cost of $24,700.

What Are the Costs of Gender Selection?
The cost of gender selection varies by clinic and region. In addition to IVF fees, PGT can add $4,000–$7,000 per cycle. However, at Pozitvif Fertility, the cost of Gender Selection is already included in the IVF with PGT-A package, providing exceptional value and transparency. Always confirm pricing and financing options with your Patient Advocate at Pozitivf Fertility. See our No Surprise IVF pricing here: In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) – Pozitivf
Important Considerations Before Choosing Gender
Before deciding, consider:
- Medical necessity: Sometimes gender selection is recommended to avoid genetic disorders.
- Ethical factors: Regulations differ by country. At Pozitvif Fertility in San Antonio and Houston, TX gender selection is available.
- Emotional readiness: IVF and PGT-A involve time, cost, and emotional investment, and at Pozitvif Fertility, we support our patients’ well-being by including a Mind Strong counseling session with our IVF packages.
