Paper and noodles are terrific, but if you're pregnant and dying to know whether a boy or girl is in your future, consult the Chinese birth chart. Discovered 700 years ago, the Chinese gender prediction calendar uses your age and the month you conceived to predict whether you're having a boy or a girl. You can even use the Chinese fertility chart as a pre-conception tool if you're angling for one gender in particular. Simply figure out the best month to get pregnant and go for it.

Um, this is dumb. Obviously the test will be right 50% of the time. It said I was having a boy, OK, we will see. It is just a heads or tails thing, though.

You have to go by your "lunar age" at conception not your actual age. I am 40 but my lunar age is 42. When I go by lunar age this chart was correct for all three of my children.

Even though I don't care what it is, my child's father is hoping for a son like most men and their very first child. The test said that it is 93% accurate so therefore 7% of the time it can be wrong, the only sure way to know is to wait for your u/s. Good luck all mother's and mother's to be. I feel that these quizzes gives us something to look forward to and have fun with.......

Ok this is what I got from this site. It said that I am having a boy, I am 12 weeks plus 2 and my 4D u/s is on the 5th of June. I've been to several websites and all of them except 3 said that it was a boy. 2 said girl and the other one said it's a toss up, so idk. In my dream that I've had about my baby said that it was a boy and I'm hoping that it is correct.

The Chinese Lunar Calendar to determine your baby's gender was taken from a 700 year old Royal Tomb near Peking, China. The original document is on display at China's Institute of Science. Many thousands of people believe that this calendar is 99% accurate. It's based on the month a baby is conceived not the birth month. The second factor is the mother's age at the time of conception adding 9 months to her age to adjust the calendar.

well this is how it conunts it, if your age and the month you conceived is either odd or even, it is said to be a girl. And, if your age is an odd and the month you conceived or knew you were pregnant was an even number, then it is said to be a boy and vise versa. Don't believe these tales, depend on God and he's aware of your own advantge. Good Luck!
