Can you choose the gender of the unborn child with IUI?

By Sara Salgado B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).

No. Since fertilization and subsequent embryo development occur inside the female's body, the embryos cannot be manipulated to examine their genetic content. So, in short, choosing the gender of the baby is not possible.
