What is Family Balancing / Gender Selection?
Understanding Gender Selection
Family Balancing, also known as Gender Selection, is an advanced reproductive technique that allows parents to choose the gender of their baby before pregnancy. This is achieved through a combination of IVF, embryo biopsy, and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), which identifies the chromosomal composition of each embryo.
- Ovarian stimulation is performed to produce multiple healthy eggs
- Eggs are fertilized with sperm in the IVF laboratory to create embryos
- A few cells are carefully biopsied from each embryo for genetic testing
- PGD determines the gender and chromosomal health of each embryo
- Embryos of the desired gender are selected and transferred to the uterus
- The process is precise, safe, and guided by fertility experts

Family Balancing / Gender Selection Process at ARC Sri Lanka
Our Family Balancing program combines advanced IVF and genetic testing to help you achieve your desired family composition with precision, safety, and personalized care at every step.
1
Initial Consultation
- 1–2 days
Meet our fertility specialists to discuss your family goals, review your medical history, and complete all necessary fertility evaluations and pre-treatment assessments.
2
Ovarian Stimulation
- 10–12 days
Fertility medications are prescribed to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs for retrieval. Regular scans and blood tests track follicle development closely.
3
Egg Retrieval
- 1 day
Mature eggs are gently collected from the ovaries under mild sedation through a short, minimally invasive procedure performed in our advanced IVF lab.
4
Fertilization (IVF)
- 3–5 days
The collected eggs are fertilized with sperm in the laboratory to form embryos. These embryos are carefully monitored as they develop over the next few days.
5
Embryo Biopsy
- 1 day
A few cells are precisely removed from each developed embryo for genetic testing. This is a delicate process performed by expert embryologists without harming the embryo.
6
Genetic Analysis (PGD)
- 5–7 days
The biopsied cells are analyzed to determine each embryo’s chromosomal composition and gender, while also screening for potential genetic abnormalities.
7
Embryo Selection
- 1 day
Embryos of the desired gender and with normal chromosomal health are selected for transfer, ensuring both accuracy and safety in family balancing.
8
Embryo Transfer
- 1 day
The selected embryo is gently placed into the uterus through a simple, painless procedure under expert supervision. The remaining healthy embryos can be frozen for future use.
5
Pregnancy Test & Follow-up
- 2 weeks
A blood test is done around 10–14 days after the embryo transfer to confirm pregnancy. Continuous follow-up and care are provided as per standard IVF protocols.
