Do Chinese Gender Charts work?

[Karen P]

Are they accurate? I know people who swear by them, and say they are
virtually 100% accurate in predicting the gender of their baby. I
looked at it for fun, but get confused when it has me figuring "lunar
age". If I did it right then it would be correct for my first child.
What do you all think?

Thanks,
karen

I don't know how they could be correct. They look at the age of the mother
and the month of conception. What the heck does the mother have to do with
gender selection? It is the father who determines the sex. I think it is a
load of hooey!

It did for my first and second but not my third. I think they're fun anyway.

It was accurate for myself and 2 of my friends.

I found chinagold to be correct for me and a friend but I can't see how, I
think its a fluke, but fun I'm waiting to see if its right for my two
pregnant friends, and me when and if I get pregnant again

Not unless my two boys are really girls (as the charts predicted both times).

It predicted a boy for me, so we will see after the birth ;-)
It also predicted a boy for my friend and so far the ultrasound said it is a
boy she is having...

:: The one I do is http://www.chinagold.com

If the baby is due on April 4, 2044, what figure do I use for the gestation?

If I use 40 weeks (280 weeks) it says I'm having a boy.
If I use 38 weeks (266 weeks) it says I'm having a girl.

Confused!!

It does say conception was June 29th, which is what I thought it would be...

No, if they did, the Chinese would only have intercourse during boy days,
and would have an even more severe surplus of boys than they do already.

Ah, yes, I didn't even think in days. ;) Are we both mommy-brained?

Amazingly, these gender charts work up to 50% of the time! ;-)

That's my thought too. However, I'm a little freaked out that it is
correct for everyone I know. The only people I know personally who
say it was wrong, weren't entering their "lunar age" which is
different than regular age. Kindof creepy. I hope it's wrong this
time around, though.

The only thing the father does is provide the sperm with the genetic
info that determines the sex. However, there is some evidence that
the mother's body may or may not provide an enviroment that is more
condusive to one sex or the other. Depending on who you believe, male
sperm and female sperm survive better under different PH conditions.

The thing that seems ridiculous is that a chart and a woman's age and
the month she conceived in could be the determining factor. I mean,
all women who are x number of months in the lunar calendar who
conceive in march are going to have boys. Yeah, right.

If it means anything, the calendar *was* correct in determining my
daughter's sex. But, I figure, like all old wives tales, all methods
of determining gender are going to be right 50% of the time.
