For many families, having the choice to balance their family or plan for a specific gender is deeply meaningful. Whether for medical, cultural, or personal reasons, gender selection through IVF and genetic testing has become one of the most trusted and accurate fertility options worldwide. Egypt, with its world-class fertility specialists and advanced embryology labs, is now a leading destination for family balancing, offering safe, ethical, and highly successful treatment at significantly lower costs than Europe or the Gulf.
At Pyramedicine, we guide international patients through a seamless, supportive, and fully transparent journey to achieving their dream family.
What Is Gender Selection?
Gender selection is the process of identifying the sex of embryos created through IVF, allowing parents to transfer an embryo of the desired gender.
This is achieved through genetic testing, most commonly:
PGT-A / PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy)
- Tests all chromosomes
- Ensures healthy embryos
- Reveals embryo sex with 99% accuracy
PGT-M (if there are hereditary conditions)
Used for families at risk of sex-linked genetic disorders.
This safe, precise testing ensures that only healthy embryos of the chosen gender are transferred.

A fertility specialist creates a personalised plan and cost breakdown.
Step 2: Travel Arrangements
Pyramedicine assists with:

Step 3: Ovarian Stimulation (Day 1–10)
The woman begins hormonal stimulation to make multiple eggs.
We use gentle protocols, including no-needle IVF options for patients who prefer minimal discomfort.
Daily steps include:
- Scans
- Hormonal monitoring
- Dose adjustments
Step 4: Egg Retrieval (Day 12–14)
A short, painless procedure under light sedation.
The embryology team fertilises the eggs using ICSI for maximum precision.
Step 5: Embryo Development (Day 15–17)
Embryos are cultured in advanced incubators.
By day 5–6, they reach the blastocyst stage – ideal for biopsy and testing.
Step 6: PGT-A Testing for Gender Selection
A small set of cells is taken from each embryo and analysed.
This reveals:
- Embryo gender
- Chromosome health
- Embryo quality
- Suitability for transfer
PGT-A improves success rates by transferring only healthy embryos.
Step 7: Embryo Transfer
A healthy embryo of the chosen gender is transferred into the uterus.
If you prefer, embryos can also be frozen for a future cycle.
Step 8: Follow-up & Departure
You receive:
- Medication guidance
- Travel-safe instructions
- A personalised pregnancy test date
- Ongoing WhatsApp support after returning home
Your Pyramedicine team remains available 24/7.

PGT-A significantly reduces miscarriage risk by selecting genetically healthy embryos.
