For many parents, the journey to parenthood feels complete when there’s balance — when they care the joy of raising both sons and daughters. Family Balancing, also known as gender selection, allows couples to plan their family composition using advanced reproductive genetics in a way that is safe, ethical, and supported by science.

Our approach to family balancing combines modern IVF and genetic testing technology with compassionate counselling and transparency, ensuring every decision reflects both medical responsibility and emotional understanding.

At Almond Blossoms Fertility & Well-being Center in Dubai, we believe that every family’s dream is unique.

What Is Family Balancing?

Family Balancing is the process of selecting an embryo of a specific gender during an IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) cycle using Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A).

Through this technology, embryos are created in the laboratory, gently biopsied at the blastocyst stage, and analyzed for chromosomal health and gender.

Only embryos that are chromosomally normal and of the desired gender are selected for transfer — helping parents achieve a supporting the chance of pregnancy while fulfilling their vision of a balanced family.

Why Couples Choose Family Balancing

Family Balancing is a deeply personal decision — often rooted in love, harmony, and emotional completeness rather than preference.

Common reasons include:

  • Achieving a balanced family after having multiple children of the same gender.
  • Reducing family size while fulfilling the desire to care raising both genders.
  • Medical reasons, such as avoiding sex-linked genetic disorders (e.g., Duchenne muscular dystrophy, hemophilia).
  • Cultural or emotional reasons, where parents wish for gender diversity to create equilibrium within the family unit.

At Almond Blossoms, we ensure that every family receives comprehensive information, emotional guidance, and ethical support before making their decision.

How Family Balancing Works

Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a private consultation with our fertility specialists and genetic counsellors, where we review your family history, reproductive health, and goals.
IVF and Embryo Development
Eggs are fertilized with sperm in our advanced IVF laboratory under the supervision of Senior Embryologist Maria Banti and her team.
Genetic Testing (PGT-A)
Once embryos reach the blastocyst stage (day 5–6), a few cells are gently biopsied for genetic analysis. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS), we determine the chromosomal health and gender of each embryo.
Embryo Selection and Transfer
Our specialists then select the healthiest embryos of the desired gender for transfer into the uterus, supporting the possibility of pregnancy.

Ethical Standards and Emotional Support

At Almond Blossoms, we practice family balancing with complete transparency, medical integrity, and respect for UAE regulations.

We believe that reproductive technology should empower families responsibly. Every couple is guided through the ethical and emotional considerations of gender selection by our fertility psychologists and counsellors.
