Family Balancing Services in Kenya

Building the family of your dreams involves making choices that are right for you. If you’re looking to balance the genders of your children, family balancing can help you achieve that goal. With the latest fertility technology, Fertility Point offers a range of options to assist couples in choosing the gender of their baby, all while maintaining the highest ethical and medical standards.

What is Family Balancing?

Family balancing is the practice of using assisted reproductive technologies (ART) to choose the gender of your child. This method is often sought by couples who may already have children of one gender and wish to have a child of the opposite gender. Family balancing can be done through various fertility treatments, including IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) and sex selection techniques.

How Does Family Balancing Work?

Family balancing works through advanced fertility treatments that allow for gender selection before conception. This is typically done through IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) combined with Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) or Sperm Sorting. Here's how each method works:

1. IVF with Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS)
    

   • Ovarian Stimulation: The process begins with ovarian stimulation to produce multiple eggs. These eggs are retrieved and fertilized with the sperm in the laboratory.
      

   • Embryo Development: The fertilized embryos are cultured for several days until they are ready for testing.
      

   • Gender Selection: Using PGS, each embryo is tested to determine its gender. This screening allows the selection of embryos of the desired gender, which are then prepared for implantation into the uterus.
      

   • Embryo Transfer: One or more embryos of the selected gender are transferred into the woman’s uterus, and pregnancy is closely monitored.
      

2. Sperm Sorting
    

   • Sperm Separation: This method involves sorting the sperm into those carrying the X chromosome (female) and those carrying the Y chromosome (male). The sperm of the desired gender is then used for insemination.
      

   • Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Once the sperm is sorted, it is used for IUI, where the sperm is directly placed into the uterus to increase the chances of fertilization. This method is typically used when couples prefer a less invasive option than IVF.
      

Why Consider Family Balancing?
 

Family balancing might be the right choice for you if:
 

1. You wish to have children of both genders and have a specific family dynamic in mind.

2. You’ve had multiple pregnancies of one gender and are hoping for the opposite.

3. You are considering the social or emotional benefits of having a balanced gender mix in your family.

4. You are looking to prevent gender-related genetic disorders by selecting a specific gender (in some cases).

The Family Balancing Process at Fertility Point

1. Consultation: Your journey toward family balancing begins with a detailed consultation at Fertility Point. During this session, our fertility specialists will discuss your family planning goals and medical history. We’ll assess your needs and explain the options available for gender selection, ensuring you feel informed and supported throughout the process.
    

2. Choosing the Right Method: We offer two main methods for gender selection:
    

   • IVF with Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS): The most advanced method, where embryos are created in the lab and genetically tested to select the desired gender.
      

   • Sperm Sorting with IUI: A less invasive option where sperm is separated into X (female) and Y (male) chromosomes and then used for IUI.
      

3. Embryo Creation and Gender Selection: Once you’ve selected the method, we proceed with ovarian stimulation (for IVF) or sperm sorting (for IUI). For IVF, eggs are fertilized in the lab and embryos are tested for gender. The embryos of the desired gender are selected for implantation.
    

4. Pregnancy Test and Monitoring: After the embryo transfer or IUI procedure, we monitor the pregnancy closely with blood tests and ultrasounds to ensure everything is progressing as it should.
    

5. Next Steps and Family Planning: Once you achieve a successful pregnancy, we’ll continue to provide support throughout your pregnancy journey. Should you need further assistance with your family-building process, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
