[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cause of our infertility was thought to be a micro deletion on my dh’s Y chromosome. He would have passed this on to sons, so I asked about whether we could select female embryos to ensure that we didn’t pass on infertility. Our nurse at Shady Grove (this was 14 years ago) replied, “we don’t do family balancing.” I explained again that we weren’t trying to balance anything (we had no children), and had no preference, but that I wanted to select the sex in order to prevent our child from inheriting a medical condition. She still said no dice. I would have pursued it with the doctor, but we never had enough robust embryos for them to even do the testing. We ended up with fraternal twin girls - the only two viable embryos to come out of 3 IVF cycles.[/quote]

Shady Grove asked if I wanted to choose earlier this year for my second baby. I think it's becoming so common, they probably no longer want to step in and make a potentially "ethical" decision for their clients.

I did have several of the same grade to choose from. [/quote]
