How to give birth to a boy through IVF?
IVF technology provides a reproductive option for couples who cannot conceive naturally. For some couples, they hope to have boys as a way of family continuity. Although gender selection is restricted in some countries, in other places, couples who need it can have boys through IVF technology. Here are some ways to help couples increase their chances of having boys.
Selective gender screening techniques
In the process of IVF, sex selective screening technology is widely used. This technique is based on the gender difference of sperm, through screening and selecting sperm with female or male chromosomes for fertilization. At present, there are two commonly used methods to achieve sex screening: sex chromosome screening and embryo sex screening.
The bisexual chromosome screening method is realized by separating sperm with X chromosome and Y chromosome. After the sperm with X chromosome combines with the egg, the fertilized egg will have an embryo composed of XX chromosome, so the probability of female embryo is higher. On the contrary, after the sperm with Y chromosome combines with the egg, the fertilized egg will have an embryo composed of XY chromosome, increasing the probability of male embryos.
The principle of embryo sex screening is to analyze the sex of embryos by sampling at the early embryonic development stage of IVF, and then select the desired sex for transplantation. The accuracy of this method is very high, but it requires additional costs.
Diet and living habits
Some studies have shown that diet and living habits may have an impact on the choice of fetal sex. For example, some people believe that eating foods rich in magnesium and calcium can increase the chances of having a boy. In addition, a high-energy diet seems to be associated with the fertility rate of boys.
In addition to diet, living habits may also have an impact on the sex of the fetus. Some studies have shown that the father's reproductive health and sperm quality are related to the sex of the fetus. For example, the use of smoking bans, avoiding exposure to chemicals and radiation, and reducing alcohol consumption can increase the probability of having a boy.
However, these theories still lack the support of scientific evidence, so the specific effects need more research to confirm. When looking for ways to give birth to boys, couples should maintain healthy diet and living habits, but should not over believe that a specific food or lifestyle can ensure the birth of boys.
Legal restrictions on gender selection techniques
Although IVF technology can realize gender selection, in some countries and regions, this practice is restricted by law. Some countries believe that gender selection violates ethical and moral principles, and therefore prohibit the use of related technologies.
However, in other countries, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, the use of IVF technology and gender selection can be conducted legally. In these places, couples can seek professional IVF services in qualified hospitals or clinics, and consult doctors to understand the feasibility and legal requirements of gender selection.
summary
To give birth to a boy through test tube babies, couples can consider selecting gender screening techniques, such as sex chromosome screening and embryo sex screening. In addition, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle may also help increase the chances of having boys. However, it should be noted that gender selection technology is restricted in some countries and should comply with local laws. For those couples who legally use IVF technology, the best way to choose a boy is to consult a professional doctor and follow the doctor's advice and guidance.
