IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) has been a miracle for so many couples who for whatever reason are not able to have children. The treatment is popular in Thailand for foreign couples who visit Bangkok to go through IVF at high quality hospitals and clinics at a significant discount to western countries. IVF in the United States for example can cost as much $30,000 USD – excluding the cost of required medicine which can be as much as $6,000 USD. In Thailand the cost for IVF is typically around half the cost of the United States, ranging between $10,000-$15,000 when done at reputable hospitals and clinics. But what really adds value for many visitors is the ability to select the sex of the baby, an aspect to the treatment that is fully legal in Thailand (In many countries IVF with gender selection is illegal).
IVF with Gender Selection vs Standard IVF Therapy
The process of IVF with gender selection is nearly identical to standard IVF. In both types of IVF treatments, embryos are tested for genetic diseases and chromosome abnormalities (this process screens for things like down syndrome) – this testing is known as Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT). The only difference is that with gender selection IVF, during PGT testing, the embryos are also analyzed to determine the sex (XX chromosome indicates the sex of the baby is a girl – XY chromosomes indicate that the sex of the baby is a boy). Couples at this stage can choose which embryos and which sex they want to go forward for the pregnancy.
Advanced IVF – ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
There are many reasons parents might want to do IVF with gender selection, and at Health Tours Thailand, we facilitate this demand. We help couples with the process with the highest degree of professionalism and only work with the most trusted IVF providers in the country. The Health Tours Thailand IVF package in Bangkok features the most advanced method of In vitro fertilization called ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection). What makes it more advanced is that during the process of fertilization, instead of mixing multiple sperms with eggs in the lab (standard IVF process), with ICSI, the healthiest most vibrant sperm is injected directly in the egg with the help of a small needle called a micropipette and under a microscope. This helps make the healthiest embryo and negates any potential issues pertaining to male fertility of the donor.
