Can gender be determined from a 5-day blastocyst?

Patient's question:

I have been married to my husband for several years, but we haven't been able to get pregnant. We are currently undergoing in vitro fertilization. It's a 5-day blastocyst. Can a 5-day blastocyst determine the gender?

Doctor's answer:

Five days of blastocyst cannot determine the gender; it is generally possible to determine the gender around four months of pregnancy. An ultrasound examination can confirm the diagnosis, but fetal gender determination is now prohibited. After pregnancy, as long as the baby develops normally, whether it is a boy or a girl is fine. Pay attention to rest during pregnancy, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and do not come into contact with radiation-emitting objects to prevent fetal malformation. Drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and enhance dietary nutrition. It is recommended to exercise moderately to boost immunity and help the baby's development.
