There might be some controversy behind the concept of gender selection. But what some people don’t know is that choosing whether your baby is a boy or girl could actually be a complete necessity. In some cases, the risk of inheriting a genetic disease or abnormality are only possible for a certain gender.

For instance, there are some diseases that can only be inherited from a mother to a son. Conditions like Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Hunter syndrome are typically only present in males. If you are a carrier of one of these genes, visiting a gender selection clinic is always a smart idea.

There is no shame in wanting to choose the gender of your next child. Not only can it prevent genetic diseases from getting passed on, it can help to shape the family of your dreams. Still on the fence about it?

Here is everything you need to know about the most common method of gender selection: the GSMART method.

GSMART is completely noninvasive

The GSMART method of gender selection is completely noninvasive. There is no need for surgical incisions and it is 100% natural. It involves separating sperm cells based on their sex chromosome (X or Y).

It has an extremely high success rate

The GSMART method has one of the highest success rates for gender selection. For parents hoping to conceive a boy, there is a 73% success rate. Parents hoping for a girl have an even higher chance of success at 75%.

There are other methods out there that are also noninvasive and natural, but they aren’t nearly as successful. The Microsort, Shettles, Whelan, and Jonas methods are also used by gender selection clinics, but they aren’t nearly as effective.

There is only one method out there that has a higher success rate, and that is the Silverman Method. The Silverman Method utilizes GSMART in several ways, but then take it a few steps further to ensure even greater success.

Dr. Andrew Silverman has been perfecting GSMART for over 30 years

Dr. Silverman is the pioneer of the GSMART Method and he has been using it with his patients for over 30 years. From the GSMART he has come to develop the Silverman Method that we mentioned earlier. Many patients end up opting for the Silverman Method because it boasts 99.9% success rates.

GSMART consists of four main steps:

1. Ovulation Monitoring – A female’s ovulation is monitored to determine the best day to perform the procedure.
2. Sperm Separation – The male’s sperm cells are separated based on whether the cells carry X or Y chromosomes.
3. Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS) – Electrodes are placed on the female’s acupoint locations. This is shown to increase blood flow to reproductive organs and boost success rates.
4. Intrauterine Insemination – The male’s sperm of the chosen gender is introduced into the female’s uterus during prime ovulation time.

GSMART patients swear by this method, and more and more parents are utilizing it to help select the gender of their child.
