[quote=Anonymous][quote]But doesn't the testing in general tell you if there is an X or Y chromosome? So they are already telling you, so if you select an XY embroyo, then you know you're trying for a girl? Also, these procedures are advancing every year and what was done a couple years ago doesn't really apply to today, right? So now, selecting embroyos with girls or boys seems the norm in 2020? Do they let you gender select in Philadelphia? Does anyone know?[/quote]

I think I already answered your questions in the other reply. But just to be clear, genetic testing for embryos is pretty common, particularly for older women who have higher rates of abnormal embryos, and yes you would know the sex as part of that genetic testing. But MOST people transfer the highest quality embryo first because the highest quality has the best chance of success. With the exception of Elon Musk, very few people would discard an embryo or choose to transfer a lower quality embryo because of sex. Most people are infertile and have been trying for a baby for years - they want a baby, they're not doing IVF to get a girl or boy. But if someone has 3-4 embryos of the same quality, some people let the doctor pick which one to transfer and some people will say "let's transfer embryo A this time", knowing that embryo A is a particular sex.
