Chinese Gender Chart

So, there are all of these goofy old wives tales, gender prediction quizzes and gender charts to help people with a baby on the way determine whether they are having a boy or a girl. Well most of these tricks and tools have turned out to be bunk. However, this one Chinese Gender Chart (on thebump.com) has been correct on 3/4 of my pregnancies...we aren't sure about the 4th because the miscarriage was too early to find out the gender (although I have a feeling that it was right that time as well). So here is the chart...


Pregnancy #1: conceived in May when I was 26...chart result: boy...actual sex: boy!
Pregnancy #2: conceived in November when I was 27...chart result: boy...actual sex: boy (Lincoln)!
Pregnancy #3: conceived in April when I was 28...chart result: girl...actual sex: unknown (both Andy and I thought it was a girl).
Pregnancy #4: conceived in July when I was 28...chart result: girl...actual sex: girl (June)!


How cool is that? I guess I should try to plan out my future pregnancies based on this chart! ...just kidding! ;)


So, for all of you who are pregnant or already have children...was the chart correct? Take your age when you conceived on the left, and match that with the month in which conception occurred across the top. Let me know in the comments how it worked for you!

FYI: Pink = Girl, Blue = Boy
