Parents who want the option of choosing their next child’s sex can do so through IVF with PGT-A genetic testing before embryo transfer. In the United States, a complete program with IndianEggDonors.com starts at $33,760 for four tested embryos, combining routine IVF, PGT-A, and agency coordination — with no hidden fees.
IndianEggDonors.com and its sister agency Surrogacy4All — both divisions of DGA, Inc. — have served the Indian and NRI community since 2006, longer than any competitor, as part of Patients Medical, New York City’s pioneer in integrative and reproductive medicine since 1974. Programs are FDA registered (FEI #3021544308), ASRM-compliant, and operate under FDA donor and tissue regulations (21 CFR Part 1271).

The program combines a routine IVF cycle using the couple’s own eggs and sperm with Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A), which allows the embryology lab to determine each embryo’s chromosomal sex before transfer. No embryo is transferred until the couple has selected which one to use — the IVF cycle itself is identical to a standard cycle; PGT-A and the selection step are what add the sex-selection option.
The complete USA program is priced transparently, with no hidden markups:

Most patients plan on two trips. The first covers ovarian stimulation, monitoring, retrieval, sperm collection, and embryo creation — generally 12–14 days, though patients who start stimulation with a local clinic using a protocol IndianEggDonors.com provides can shorten this to about 5–7 days. After the embryos reach the blastocyst stage, they’re biopsied for PGT-A and frozen while results are pending. The second trip, typically a few weeks later, is for the frozen embryo transfer once results are in — usually a shorter stay of 3–5 days. The partner generally only needs to be present for the first trip to provide the sperm sample.
No — the male partner is typically only needed during the first trip. The embryo-transfer visit is usually completed by the intending mother alone.

Elective sex selection through PGT-A for family balancing is offered by private IVF clinics across the United States and is not federally prohibited, unlike the law in many other countries. IndianEggDonors.com and Surrogacy4All coordinate this service through licensed, independent fertility clinics, consistent with ASRM guidance and FDA regulation (21 CFR Part 1271).
Gender selection — also called baby sex selection or family balancing — is one of the most searched fertility topics in the United States today.

In the Republic of Georgia, IndianEggDonors.com and Surrogacy4All coordinate IVF and PGT-A genetic/chromosomal testing starting at $16,360 for four tested embryos. Where the sex-chromosome finding is medically relevant — for example, a documented risk of a sex-linked genetic disorder — selection can be completed in Georgia. For purely elective, non-medical family-balancing selection, Georgian law requires the tested embryo(s) to be preserved and lawfully transferred to a jurisdiction where elective selection is permitted — in practice, our USA program.

Georgian law — the Law of Georgia on Patient Rights, Article 34 — permits sex-chromosome disclosure and embryo selection only where it is medically relevant, such as a documented risk of a sex-linked genetic disorder. Purely elective, non-medical “family balancing” selection is not something a Georgian clinic can lawfully disclose or act on. IndianEggDonors.com and Surrogacy4All’s Georgia program is built around this distinction: every case is created and genetically tested in Georgia; a medically-indicated case can be completed there; a purely elective case is preserved and lawfully transferred to our USA program, where elective selection is legally permitted.
The IVF and PGT-A testing itself is identical to the USA program — the couple’s own eggs and sperm, embryo culture to blastocyst, genetic and chromosomal testing — coordinated with a partnering Georgian clinic at meaningfully lower cost ($16,360 vs. $33,760 for a typical four-embryo case). The difference is what happens with the result: a Georgian clinic can complete selection only for a medically-indicated case. An elective, family-balancing case is completed after the tested embryo is transferred to the USA program — the same cross-jurisdiction routing this report’s Section 4.3 already describes for surrogacy.
Call 212-661-7177 to discuss which pathway — Georgia-only or Georgia-to-USA — fits your situation.
Every Georgia case begins with a formal embryo genetic-testing authorization letter, prepared by counsel, that the intended parent(s) sign before treatment. It authorizes PGT-A and genetic/chromosomal testing, confirms that non-medical sex-based disclosure or selection will not be performed in Georgia, and — where elective family balancing is the goal — authorizes the clinic to preserve and lawfully transfer the tested embryo(s) to the jurisdiction where selection will actually be completed. The full text is reproduced below as the standard intake document for this program.
Gender selection refers to medical methods used to increase the likelihood of conceiving a child of a specific biological sex — male (XY) or female (XX).
It is commonly pursued for:
Unlike myths online, true baby sex selection requires laboratory-based reproductive technology. Natural timing methods or dietary approaches are not medically reliable.
A common online search is:
“Baby sex selection banned where?”
In many countries, non-medical gender selection is restricted or banned. However, in the United States:
Individual clinics may have internal ethical policies, but the practice itself is not illegal in the USA.
This legal clarity is one reason international patients travel to the United States for baby sex selection procedures.
There are two primary medical approaches:
Each differs in cost, accuracy, invasiveness, and certainty.
Many parents first use sperm sorting to increase the chances of having a male or female baby depending on their preference.
They can next use the sorted sperm to create embryos. This increases the likelihood of embryos being created with the sex of the baby they want.
Many families searching:
Are initially looking for a less invasive and lower-cost pathway.
How Sperm Sorting Works
Sperm carry either an X chromosome (female) or a Y chromosome (male).
Laboratory-based sorting separates sperm into enriched fractions using biological differences in:
The modified sedimentation method is performed in a regulated U.S. laboratory environment.
After sorting, the enriched sperm can be:
Sperm Sorting Accuracy
Sperm sorting improves probability but does not guarantee gender.
Typical probability rates:
Because pregnancy itself is never guaranteed, patients must understand that sperm sorting enhances probability — not certainty.
How Much Does Gender Selection Cost with Sperm Sorting?
If you are searching:
“How much does gender selection cost near me?”
Sperm sorting programs typically begin around:
👉 $5,000
This may include:
IUI fees and clinic costs may be separate depending on location.
Many patients ask:
“Can you select the sex of your baby with IVF?”
Yes.
IVF with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) allows embryos to be genetically analyzed before transfer into the uterus.
IVF Gender Selection Process
Because embryos are tested prior to implantation, identification of chromosomal sex is near 100% accurate before transfer.
IVF Gender Selection Cost
When searching:
Typical range:
👉 $12,000–$15,000+
Additional costs may include:
IVF is more invasive but offers the highest degree of certainty.
Some people search:
Ovulation calculators are useful for tracking fertility windows — but they do not reliably determine gender.
Timing theories (such as the Shettles method) are not medically validated as reliable baby sex selection methods.
Controlled laboratory-based methods remain the only scientifically supported approaches.

A typical program with four embryos tested costs $33,760, combining a $5,000 agency fee, a $24,760 IVF package, and $1,000 per embryo for PGT-A testing.
Generally two: an initial 12–14 day trip for stimulation and retrieval, and a shorter 3–5 day trip weeks later for the embryo transfer.
Usually only for the first trip, to provide the sperm sample.
PGT-A identifies each embryo’s chromosomal sex with high accuracy, but treatment outcomes — including whether a transferable embryo of the desired sex is available — cannot be guaranteed and depend on individual response to IVF.
Yes — elective sex selection via PGT-A for family balancing is offered by private clinics across the U.S. and is coordinated by IndianEggDonors.com/Surrogacy4All through licensed, independent fertility clinics.
Yes. Some patients create and PGT-A test their embryos through our Republic of Georgia program (starting at $16,360) and then lawfully transfer the tested embryo(s) to this USA program to complete elective, non-medical selection — Georgian law does not permit non-medical sex-based selection to be completed in Georgia itself. Ask your coordinator about combined pricing for this pathway; see the Georgia program section below for details.
Not in the way earlier guidance on this page may have suggested. Georgian law allows sex-chromosome disclosure and selection only for a medically-indicated reason, such as a documented risk of a sex-linked genetic disorder — there is no general note that unlocks elective selection. For purely elective, non-medical family balancing, your embryo is created and tested in Georgia at Georgia pricing, then lawfully transferred to our USA program, where elective selection is legally permitted.
Sperm sorting begins around $5,000. IVF with PGT ranges from $12,000–$15,000+.
Yes. IVF with PGT allows embryo chromosomal sex identification prior to transfer.
It is banned or restricted in some countries but legal in the USA when performed medically.
No. It increases probability but does not guarantee outcome.
No. They track fertility windows but do not reliably determine baby gender.
Not directly in Georgia. Georgian law reserves sex-based disclosure and selection for medically-indicated cases. If your reason is elective family balancing rather than a documented sex-linked genetic disorder, your embryo is created and PGT-A tested in Georgia, then lawfully transferred to our USA program to complete selection. Ask your coordinator about combined pricing for this pathway.
