Gender Selection Cost Westchester, NY

You would like to have a gender balanced family, and you already have boys, so you want to conceive a girl. If you leave this up to chance, you have a 50% chance of conceiving a child of the desired sex. If you would like to choose the sex of your child, you may be wondering about gender selection cost. Dr. Andrew Silverman, MD in Westchester, NY offers two methods of gender selection.

Each of your cells contains 46 chromosomes, half of which come from your father, carried by the sperm, and half of which come from your mother, stored in the egg. The sex chromosomes determine gender. While the egg provides one X chromosome, the sperm provides either an X or a Y, completing an XX or an XY pair. Embryos containing an XX pair are females, while those with a Y chromosome are males. The Ericsson Method for Gender Selection, which is 75% accurate, involves the separation of X and Y carrying sperm. If a family wishes to conceive a boy, only Y carrying sperm are chosen. Pre Implantation Genetic Diagnosis is nearly 100% accurate although it is considerably more expensive. In this method, embryos are created, and then separated according to sex. If a family wishes to conceive a boy, only embryos with an XY pair are implanted in the mother.

Dr. Silverman carries a PhD in Microbiology in addition to his MD. He has training in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology and has over 18 years experience in gender selection. This experience and training ensures that patients have the best chance at success in the process of sex selection.

Gender Selection allows families to:

- Avoid certain x-linked genetic diseases
- Provide gender balance
- Ensure that the family name is passed on by selecting to conceive a boy

After starting a private practice in New York City and Westchester, he started the first In Vitro Fertilization center in the Northeast outside of a university setting. Adding to his expertise in IVF, he trained with Dr. Ericsson, the founder of the Ericsson Method of Gender Selection.
