What is IVF with choice of baby’s sex?
MicroSort is a new scientific method of pre-implantation genetic diagnosis designed to increase a couple’s chances of having a child of the desired sex. MicroSort is used before conception to separate spermatozoa into those containing female (X) or male (Y) chromosomes.
Sperm containing chromosomes of the desired sex can be inserted into the uterus by IUI or used in IVF treatment cycles in Turkey.
Many couples who are not affected by infertility use MicroSort to balance the sex of their family or to prevent the transmission of a genetic disease that affects only one sex.
IVF PGD in Turkey offers a new option for couples struggling with infertility due to genetic problems. Ovarian reserve is assessed prior to ovarian stimulation to obtain a sufficient number of mature eggs.
The healthy embryos obtained after in vitro fertilisation undergo pre-implantation diagnosis to detect any genetic anomalies.
The selected embryos are then transferred to the mother’s uterus for intrauterine implantation. The pregnancy rate is encouraging, offering a glimmer of hope for patients seeking to conceive a healthy baby boy or girl.

Infertility treatment with MicroSort
Patients wishing to use MicroSort to balance the sexes in their family must :
- Be married
- Have at least one child
- Want to use sex selection to help them conceive the least represented sex of children. (Example: parents of four girls could use MicroSort to help them conceive a boy).
Inherited genetic diseases can be linked to sex. MicroSort can help prevent a child from inheriting a sex-linked disease.
MicroSort treatment process
MicroSort is a preconception sex selection technology. MicroSort does not involve the creation of embryos for testing and selection. The MicroSort process simply sorts sperm according to their sex before the fertilisation process.
The spermatozoa determine the sex of the child. Sperm carrying X produce girls and sperm carrying Y produce boys. Without MicroSort, sperm samples are made up of around 50% X-carrying sperm and 50% Y-carrying sperm.
Depending on the needs of the patient’s family, MicroSort technology can produce a high percentage of X-bearing sperm (girls) or a high percentage of Y-bearing sperm (boys).
Separating sperm by sex requires cell sorting based on the difference in the amount of genetic material between X- and Y-bearing sperm. Fluorescent dyes and ultraviolet lasers are used by the cell sorting machine to identify X and Y spermatozoa.

How successful is MicroSort at sex selection?
Fertility clinics using MicroSort do not guarantee that pregnancies resulting from MicroSort sperm selection will produce a child of the preferred sex.
MicroSort does not completely eliminate chromosomes of the opposite sex from the sperm sample, the genetic composition of the sperm used simply has a higher percentage of chromosomes of the desired sex.
Currently, MicroSort sperm separation for female sex selection (XSort) results in an average of 91% X-carrying sperm in selected specimens. MicroSort sperm separation for male sex selection (YSort) gives an average of 74% Y-carrying sperm in the sorted specimens.
