If you pay for PGS testing you get your results.  ALL OF THEM including sex.

It doesn't work that way, and SG won't release that information to you. You can't make them.  All you can do is take your embryos elsewhere.[/quote]

This is plain wrong.  What you pay to the testing lab includes gender test. You're entitled to this info, but need SG to sign off on it since they ordered the test.   What SG won't do because there is a corporate policy against it is gender selection - they will not allow you to request that a certain gender embryo be transfered. They pick for you. But by all means you can find out that you have 2 girls and 3 boys based on the PGD testing.[/quote]
This is a distinction without a difference.  The whole point of gender information is to select one vs. the other (if you only have one, or all of one, that obviously doesn't apply).  If this information is withheld from you until after the implantation, it's kind of meaningless. [/quote]

But it's not the point of pgs testing. [/quote]
No it isn't, but the discussion isn't about the point of PGS testing.  The fact of the matter is that SG does not share information about embryo gender with its patients during the time when it is actually relevant.  They only share that information when it isn't possible to do anything about it. This is why I'm looking to leave them for my third. [/quote]

They are upfront about it, it's a corporate policy.  If it's critical for you to be able to select gender, why did you go to SG to begin with?

For the record, the discussion and thread title are about finding out gender from PGS.  Finding out, not being able to select what gender to transfer. Big difference.[/quote]
