Can a couple with four children of one gender use PGD to guarantee a fifth child of the opposite gender?
The consensus of poskim is that if that there is a need for IVF anyway, PGD can be used to determine the gender. However, if the couple is naturally fertile and there is no need for IVF, to utilize PGD just to ensure gender is not allowed, on account of the halachic issues related to IVF procedure.

In situations where there is serious concern for the psychological welfare of the mother, confirmed by the attending psychological therapist, who recommends PGD as part of the therapeutic treatment – it is permissible.
