The Chinese Gender Calendar is believed to be over 700 years old. It was found in a Royal Tomb near Peking, China. The chart uses the mother’s lunar age and the lunar month of conception to help predict the gender of an unborn baby. It can also be used when you are trying to conceive a baby of a particular gender. There are anecdotal reports that the Chinese Gender Chart is 90% accurate.

There are many examples of the Chinese Gender Calendar online. However, in order to use the chart, you must know you lunar age at conception. If you were born January 1st up to and including February 20th, then your lunar age is the same as your regular calendar age. If you were born after February 20th, then you add one year to your regular calendar age. You must also remember that the chart is based on the conception month of the child, not the birth month.

An ultrasound is the most reliable non-invasive way to predict the gender of your unborn baby. An amniocentesis is almost foolproof, but is invasive and poses a risk to you and your baby. However, there are a great number of unscientific methods of predicting the sex of your baby that do not require a doctor at all.

One of the most common is the Drano pee test. A pregnant woman mixes her urine with crystal Drano (not the liquid version). The color of the mixture indicates the gender of the baby. Brown means that a girl is on the way and blue means that you have conceived a baby boy. Another easy predictor is uses just your wedding ring. Tie a string to the ring and dangle it over your baby. If it swings back and forth like a clock pendulum, you are having a baby boy. If it goes in a circular motion, pull out your pink paint.

There is one method of unscientific gender prediction that requires a little assistance from your caregiver. The next time someone listens to your baby’s heart rate, ask for the results. Anything above 140 beats per minute is thought to be a girl. Trying to predict the gender of your baby is one of the most enjoyable parts of your pregnancy. Dads-to-be and everyone else will quickly join in on the fun.
