Fertil Steril. 2018 Sep;110(4):625-627. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2018.06.019.

Abstract

Clinics may develop a policy to disallow selecting which embryos to transfer based on sex and choose to use only embryo quality as selection criteria. Clinics may also develop a policy to use randomization to select those embryos for transfer if more embryos suitable for transfer are available than can be transferred.
