The Ericsson Albumin method of sex selection of children is another option that parents can use if they want to choose what gender they wish their child to be. In this procedure, the father is required to provide a sample of semen which is then put through a process for gender selection; the sperm that coincides with the gender that the parents choose is then inseminated into the uterus of the mother. This method is more invasive than other low technology methods such as altering the diet of the woman or scheduling sexual intercourse around the time when the woman is ovulating. This method seeks to screen the sperm that are produced by the male and it is supposed to be more effective in helping persons who wish to have baby boys than girls. This method of seamen selection is guided by the theory of male seamen being able to travel faster than that of female fluids.

The sperm sample is then placed into a tube which is filled with albumin of varying thickness. The sperm are to swim through the albumin, and those that make it to the thickest level of albumin are assumed to be male sperm. These sperm are selected and the mother is inseminated using and intra-uterine insemination or intra-cervical insemination. If the parents wish to have a baby girl, the mother is required to take Clamed in addition to having this procedure performed. This procedure usually takes 4 hours and has been shown to be effective. With respect to cost, this treatment is relatively cost effective, costing approximately $600 to $1200 for each attempt. There are also many clinics that offer this method of gender selection.
