If an embryo with a genetic abnormality is found, the embryo will be eliminated. Then, the doctor will select and implant healthy embryos without genetic abnormalities.

However, when implanting two embryos with different sexes, sex determination will depend on which embryo is implanted. If only one embryo is successfully implanted, the sex of the fetus can only be known as the fetus develops.

In vitro fertilization does have many advantages, but this program is not an easy thing to do. Apart from having to spend a lot of money, expectant mothers and fathers must also take care of their physical and mental health so that the chances of IVF success are higher.
