Gender Selection - Shady Grove Fertility

[Anonymous]

We are w/ SGF in Leesburg, VA and they had no problem letting us pick the order or the embryos we are trying -- we know the gender.

I can't imagine how you could think you should have kids if you want to pay for a certain gender only.

The latter is called family balancing and is not against the currently acceptable medical ethics in the US. If you have 1 child, it's acceptable to request the opposite gender of the existing child. If people want to do it, it's not a crime against humanity. It's people like you who oppose fertility treatments all together - why, gasp, you can't imagine paying to have children...

um it’s not people like pp. it’s a lot of people. I tried for 4 years (4 Iub’s , 4 fresh, 3 frozen) before I had a baby. I would NEVER have dreamed of selecting gender. I was about to go fertility treatments for my second when I got pregnant on a cancelled cycle. I had no intention of “family balancing.” This actually makes me sick. You know the saying we All tell kids? You get what you get and you don’t get upset.

But it's not really about you and your dream, you know? If people could get pregnant naturally like you did, no one would have this conversation. Some people do try fertility treatments, and end up with more than one. So that's "what you get part". Now if you got more than what you intend to have, you have to choose what goes in and what doesn't, since not every embryo can go in. And if someone will choose, then why not you?
