There are many different medical, social, economic or cultural circumstances which put couples under the most intense pressure to produce a child of a specific gender. Scientists have identified thousands of health problems where genes play a part and many gender-related medical disorders can be passed from parent to child.

Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a medical procedure which allows embryos to be tested for gender-related genetic conditions, prior to being placed in the womb, giving the best opportunity to select the gender of your baby.

The Rainsbury Clinic is the foremost PGD Gender Selection and Ovum Donation referral centre in Europe and Dr Paul Rainsbury is one of the only gynaecologists in the UK offering PGD, prior to sending patients to a different country for the egg pick up, fertilisation, biopsy and embryo transfer.
Of the successful pregnancies resulting from this process, 100% of the babies born have been of the selected gender.
