Abstract in brief

This study investigates whether a specific maternal diet (low in sodium and high in calcium) combined with timing intercourse before ovulation can increase the chances of female gender selection, and finds that this method may be effective.
The research involved 172 couples, with diet compliance confirmed through blood mineral analyses and timing based on ovulation tests; a prediction rule was created and tested on new participants, showing promising results.
The results suggest that women following the diet and timing strategy had an 81% chance of conceiving a girl, indicating that this combined approach could potentially influence the likelihood of gender selection.]
