Gender Selection In Kenya

Gender selection is the attempt to determine in advance what sex a child will be at birth. Today, the term is also used to describe a fertility treatment procedure that increases the chances of having a child of the desired sex, male or female.

Historically, women were often blamed if the pregnancy did not produce a man. The truth is that genetically, it is the father's sperm that determines the sex of the child. A sperm cell has either an X (female) or a Y (male) chromosome, while an egg cell has only one X chromosome.

With today's advanced infertility treatments, it is possible to Gender Selection in kenya during treatment so that the sex of the baby at birth matches your desired sex.

In which week the sex of the baby is determined?

A child's sex is determined at conception, when sperm fertilizes an egg with either an X (female) or Y (male) chromosome. Sex is one of the 46 chromosomes that make up the genetic code of the embryo. The sex of the baby is fixed at the time of conception and does not change as the pregnancy progresses.

You can determine the sex of the baby by ultrasound at 10 or 12 weeks. DNA analysis can detect it earlier in 6-9 weeks. And even earlier, on the fifth day after the fetometry test.

In which countries is sex selection legal?

Sex selection is illegal in most European countries. In these countries the sex of the child may not be disclosed to the parents, even if it is known.

Also, pre-implantation genetic testing (which would allow us to know the sex of the baby) cannot be allowed as removing cells from the embryo is illegal.

In the United States, there is no restriction on knowing or choosing the sex of a child.

What is semen separation or micro classification?

Various methods of sex selection using sperm have been tried. For example, one approach, known as the Erickson method, was based on the observation that male spermatozoa are lighter and float faster, so they can be separated by weight by vortexing. However, this approach has not stood up to scientific rigor.

Sperm microsorting is a better method. It differentiates between male and female sperm on the basis of the amount of DNA contained in the sperm. Sperm with an X chromosome have about 2.8% more DNA than sperm with a Y chromosome. When a special dye is used, sperm with a higher DNA content will glow more and this facilitates microsorting, which separates sperm by gender. It is a proven method of enriching semen samples based on gender.




Do natural methods of sex selection work?

Because the sex of the embryo is determined by the sperm, contrary to what some people think; There is nothing a woman can do to influence gender, whether it is following a certain diet or following a Chinese birth chart.

Throughout history, there have been many beliefs about how to influence the sex of a child. For example, Aristotle believed that the direction of the wind during intercourse determined the gender at conception (this is not true). Another myth is that hot weather favors children, this is just a myth.

Can you choose the sex of the baby in kenya with IVF ?

IVF, in vitro fertilization, is a form of assisted reproduction in which a sperm and an egg are combined in a laboratory to form an embryo, which is then implanted in the uterus.

By analyzing the embryo we can find out the sex (gender). Consequently, sex selection refers to the selection of embryos to be placed back into the uterus as part of the IVF process. Of course, this assumes that there is a viable embryo of your desired gender for implantation.

How does sex selection work?

Two steps are necessary for successful sex selection.

  1. The first step is sperm microsorting, which is a method that selects or classifies sperm based on the sex of the sperm. Tree of Life uses Microsort sex selection technology to increase the likelihood that an egg with the correct chromosomes for the desired sex will be fertilized.
  2. Second, sex selection relies on embryo testing (also known as preimplantation genetic diagnosis) to select embryos of the desired sex for implantation in the uterus.

What is the success of Gender Selection in Kenya?

Successful sex selection requires both sperm microsorting and pre-implantation genetic testing. With microsorting, you enrich sperm prior to insemination so that the majority of sperm in the sample are of the desired gender. in terms of efficiency READ MORE
