PGD Gender Selection in Pakistan – Choose Your Baby's Sex with 99% Accuracy

At SAWA Perfect Fertility Clinic – Pakistan’s First Dedicated Fertility & Male Health Center in Lahore – we offer clinically advanced PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) for couples who want to plan their family with confidence. Our internationally trained specialists deliver 99% accurate gender selection combined with full genetic health screening.

PGD Gender Selection in Pakistan – Science-Backed Family Planning

What is PGD?

PGD – Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis – is an advanced genetic testing technology performed during the IVF process. Before an embryo is transferred into the mother’s womb, a small number of cells are carefully removed from the embryo and analyzed at the chromosomal level. This allows your SAWA Perfect fertility specialist to identify the genetic makeup of each embryo – including its sex chromosomes (XX for female, XY for male) – before implantation.

PGD is not a stand alone treatment. It works in combination with IVF or ICSI. It serves two powerful purposes:

1. Selecting the desired gender for family balancing

2. Screening for chromosomal abnormalities and hereditary genetic diseases

In Pakistan, PGD gender selection is offered at SAWA Perfect Fertility Clinic following strict medical and ethical guidelines, primarily for family balancing and medically indicated genetic disease prevention.

ACCURACY: PGD gender selection achieves up to 99% accuracy – verified through chromosomal analysis.

Who is a Good Candidate for PGD Gender Selection?

PGD is recommended for a wide range of couples. During your free consultation at SAWA Perfect, our specialists will determine if PGD is the right path for you.

Couples Seeking Family Balancing

Families who already have children of one gender and wish to have a child of the opposite gender to complete their family.

Carriers of Sex-Linked Genetic Disorders

Couples where one or both parents carry genes for conditions like Haemophilia A & B, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Fragile X Syndrome, or other hereditary diseases.

Women Over 35 Years of Age

Advanced maternal age increases chromosomal abnormality risk. PGD screens embryos to select only chromosomally normal ones for transfer, improving outcomes significantly.

History of Recurrent Miscarriages

Women who have suffered two or more pregnancy losses, as chromosomally abnormal embryos are a leading cause of recurrent miscarriage.

Previously Failed IVF Cycles

Couples who have undergone IVF without success may benefit greatly from adding PGD to identify and transfer only the healthiest embryos.

Known Family History of Genetic Disease

Families with a history of hereditary conditions including Thalassemia, cystic fibrosis, chromosomal translocations, or other genetic disorders.

Men with Severe Sperm Abnormalities

Certain sperm conditions are associated with higher aneuploidy rates in embryos. PGD screening ensures only healthy embryos are transferred.

Couples Pursuing IVF Anyway

Adding PGD to an existing IVF cycle maximizes your investment, improves success rates, and simultaneously allows you to plan your family’s gender.

The PGD Gender Selection Process – Step by Step

Our internationally trained embryologists perform PGD using the most advanced biopsy and genetic analysis technologies available in Pakistan. The complete PGD + IVF cycle typically spans 4–6 weeks.

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at SAWA Perfect. Our fertility specialists – including our dedicated IVF & Gender Selection Consultant, Dr. Kiran Usman – evaluate your complete medical history, hormonal profile (AMH, FSH, LH), ovarian reserve via ultrasound, semen analysis, and genetic background. This helps us determine whether PGD is the right approach for your specific situation and create a fully personalized treatment plan.

Duration: 1–2 Visits

Ovarian Stimulation & Monitoring

To maximize the number of embryos available for PGD testing, your ovaries are stimulated using carefully dosed hormonal injections (gonadotropins) over 10–14 days. Our team monitors follicle development through regular ultrasound scans and blood hormone tests, adjusting dosages to ensure optimal response while minimizing risks like ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).

Duration: 10–14 Days

Egg Retrieval (Ovum Pick-Up)

Once follicles reach optimal maturity (typically 18–20mm), a trigger injection is given. Approximately 36 hours later, a minimally invasive egg retrieval procedure is performed under light sedation. Using ultrasound guidance, our specialist carefully retrieves mature eggs from the ovarian follicles. The procedure takes 20–30 minutes and is performed at our clinic in Gulberg, Lahore.

Duration: 30 Minutes – Day Procedure

Fertilization via ICSI

The retrieved eggs are fertilized in our advanced embryology laboratory using ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) – where a single healthy sperm is injected directly into each mature egg. ICSI is the preferred method for PGD cycles as it ensures controlled, high-quality fertilization. Fertilized eggs are then cultured in incubators under precise temperature and atmospheric conditions.

Duration: Day 1 of Embryo Development

Embryo Culture to Blastocyst Stage

Embryos are cultured in our laboratory for 5–6 days until they reach the blastocyst stage – a more developed stage with 100–150 cells. Blastocyst-stage embryos provide significantly better implantation rates and the optimal cellular material for accurate PGD biopsy. Our embryologists monitor development daily using advanced incubation technology.

Duration: Days 1–5

Embryo Biopsy & Genetic Analysis

This is the core of PGD. Our embryologist performs a precision biopsy, removing 5–8 cells from the blastocyst’s outer layer without harming the embryo. These cells are tested using advanced techniques like NGS or aCGH to determine gender (XX or XY), detect chromosomal abnormalities, and screen for genetic conditions.

Duration: Day 5–6 (Biopsy) + 7–10 Days for Results

Embryo Selection & Results Consultation

Once the genetic report is ready, your SAWA Perfect specialist presents the results in a private consultation. You will know the gender and genetic health status of every embryo. You then make an informed, empowered decision on which embryo to transfer. Healthy embryos of the desired gender are prioritized for transfer. Surplus healthy embryos can be cryopreserved (frozen) for future use.

Duration: Results Within 7–10 Days of Biopsy

Embryo Transfer & Pregnancy Test

The selected healthy embryo of your desired gender is transferred into the uterus in a simple, pain-free procedure – no general anesthesia required. This takes 10–15 minutes. A beta-hCG blood pregnancy test is performed approximately 10–14 days after transfer to confirm successful implantation. Full luteal phase support (progesterone medications) is provided to maximize implantation success.

Duration: Day 19–21 (Frozen Embryo Transfer Cycle)

How Gender is Determined?

Every embryo carries 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs. The 23rd pair determines sex: XX = Girl, XY = Boy. PGD identifies these chromosomes with 99% accuracy before the embryo is ever transferred.

Is PGD Legal in Pakistan?

Yes. PGD is legally performed in Pakistan at licensed fertility clinics for medical indications and family balancing. SAWA Perfect operates under full ethical and clinical guidelines, with proper counseling provided to every patient.

PGD vs. Sperm Sorting

PGD (done post-fertilization on the embryo) offers 99% accuracy – far superior to sperm sorting (~85%) or MicroSort methods. PGD is the most reliable gender selection method available globally.

Why Couples Choose PGD Gender Selection

Family Balancing

If you are blessed with sons and dream of a daughter – or vice versa – PGD allows you to select your desired gender embryo for implantation. This is the most common reason couples in Pakistan pursue PGD gender selection.

Genetic Disease Prevention

Many serious diseases are sex-linked, meaning they predominantly or exclusively affect one gender. Conditions like Haemophilia A & B, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and Fragile X Syndrome can be avoided by selecting embryos of the safer gender. PGD protects future generations from inheriting these conditions.

Chromosomal Screening

PGD screens embryos for chromosomal aneuploidy – an abnormal number of chromosomes – including Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Trisomy 18, and Trisomy 13. This significantly improves IVF success rates and reduces miscarriage risk.

Advanced Selenology Lab

Hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows detailed visualization and treatment of uterine conditions. Using a thin, lighted telescope, we can diagnose and address issues like polyps, fibroids, and adhesions, promoting optimal uterine health and improving fertility outcomes.

Male Fertility

Comprehensive testing with an experienced clinic can reveal the underlying causes of male fertility issues. With the right diagnosis and tailored treatments, we can help restore your fertility health and open the doors to a new chapter of family planning.

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)

IUI, also known as artificial insemination, places healthy sperm directly into the uterus, bringing it closer to the egg and enhancing the chance of conception. This gentle, effective method aligns with your natural cycle for optimal timing.

PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis)

PGD helps families plan for a balanced and healthy future. This advanced genetic testing allows you to screen embryos for specific traits or genetic conditions, empowering you to make informed choices before pregnancy.

Laparoscopy

Experience the benefits of modern surgical techniques! Laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive, leading to faster recovery times, less pain, and fewer scars compared to traditional open surgery—helping you heal quickly and comfortably.

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)

ICSI is a specialized fertility treatment designed to maximize the chances of fertilization, particularly when used alongside IVF. This advanced technique injects a single healthy sperm directly into the egg, boosting the success rate for couples on their path to parenthood.

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)

IVF has long been a trusted choice for those pursuing fertility solutions. In this popular procedure, eggs and sperm meet in a controlled environment to create an embryo, which is then carefully transferred to the uterus to achieve pregnancy.
