Chinese Pregnancy Charts

Hello,

Have any of you used the Chinese Birthing Charts for determing the sex of your child? I heard they are really accurate, but one of my friends tried it and it was not accurate.

Can you please try it and let me know?

Chinese Pregnancy Calendar

Thanks

It was true for both myself and my best friend. Technically, my little girl isn't here to confirm the chart's prediction 100% but ultrasound after ultrasound says she's a girl. We'll know for sure in November.

I certainly wouldn't go out and buy for the sex that the chart says you're having, but it is fun.

Edit note: Here's something interesting...I just looked at the chart you linked after posting and it said "boy" for me but then I looked at this one (Chinese Lunar Calendar - Gender Predictions) and it says "girl" just like the other ones I've looked at have said in the past. Hmmm...interesting...

Mine says girl on both charts and that's what they say I'm having. Worked for me. But then again, it's a 50/50 chance that it's right.

We looked at one when I got pregnant and my husband was very happy that it was wrong ;-) Our ultrasounds say that I'm having a boy despite the chart indicating girl.

Both of the charts on the sites above say, for me, at age 30 conceiving last November, that I should have had a boy...but I'm pretty certain that our little Caroline is 100% GIRL...considering I'm changing her diapers so often!

Guess there's just no foolproof way to determine...

Hm. All of the Chinese gender predictors I've looked at before said I was going to have a girl. Both of the ones linked above say boy. Our anatomy scan says girl and I have a hard time disbelieving it looking at the pictures.

I tried both times and it was not right either time. There isn't a whole lot to them. They have a 50/50 chance of being right I suppose.
