Overall, comments reflect a mix of support and skepticism toward the findings, with discussions emphasizing the importance of timing for conception (e.g., 'timing of sexual intercourse in relation to ovulation has no influence on the sex of the baby') and citing scientific sources like Wilcox et al. The tone is analytical and curious, with some users challenging misconceptions and others stressing the significance of accurate information.
AgreementModerate agreement
Most discussions acknowledge the research indicating that timing around ovulation impacts conception likelihood, though some users mention conflicting information or skepticism.
InterestHigh interest
The majority of social discussions show high curiosity and detailed engagement, referencing scientific studies and their implications.
EngagementModerate engagement
Users actively share examples, cite studies, and debate concepts like sex determination and timing effects, demonstrating thoughtful engagement.
ImpactModerate impact
The conversations have meaningful implications for understanding fertility, with users reevaluating common myths and emphasizing scientific evidence.
Abstract in brief
Timing of sexual intercourse close to ovulation significantly increases the chance of conception, with the highest probability occurring when intercourse happens in the six days ending on ovulation day.
The study found that sperm age does not greatly affect pregnancy success, and the pattern of intercourse related to ovulation is similar regardless of whether the baby is a boy or girl.
Overall, for women trying to conceive, engaging in sex during that six-day fertile window is key, but the timing does not influence the sex of the baby.

Timing sexual intercourse close to ovulation increases the chance of conception, especially during the six days ending on ovulation day. The pattern of intercourse does not influence the baby's sex, but timing is…
This study investigates whether a specific maternal diet combined with timing intercourse can influence the gender of the baby, showing promising results for increasing the likelihood of conceiving a girl.

@OldHollowTree Old wives definitely didn’t know when they ovulated. And having sex after ovulation has the lowest chance of conceiving per cycle (under 10%*) so seems like a lot of wasted time.

@JustAmused @secularprolife No, really!
I swear: fertilization happens after sex.
So I'm sure you understand how a person could not possibly invite a fertilized egg person who does not exist yet anywhere by having sex
https://t.co/jthkWITDMQ
I found a study on the single-day likelihood of conception from consensual sex by couples *trying to* conceive.
The study excluded women whose partners had a history of fertility problems.
80% were b/t 26 & 35
https://t.co/XLP5aOI7Xy https://t.co/DXeddsqqYs
@lymanstoneky @LauraLindberg2 That said, 12.417% *seems* high?
Found a study on the single-day likelihood of conception from consensual sex—in addition to summing the rates here, to be safe (per the text), I added .24 ... and then divided by 28 (average length of cycle).
I got 5.8%

I was truly shocked by this. If you have sex the day of (or before) ovulation, there's >= 30% chance of conception. Wow. Data from Wilcox, Weinberg, Baird 1996 https://t.co/1dTsXdoECw https://t.co/coKJGucvyF

@Na_na_Ba_Nana The modern theory of influencing sex positions and gender determination stems from an idea called the Shettles method. Medical experts don't agree with this. There are some studies done on this.
