Chinese Conception Chart for Getting a Guess at Your Baby’s Gender
For centuries, women have used several unusual means for guessing the gender of their baby. One of the more elaborate ways to “figure out” the unborn child’s gender is the Chinese Conception Calendar.This document was believed to be found in a tomb over seven hundred years ago.The chart is now on display at the Beijing Institute of Science in China.
The chart is not completely accurate.The method of determining gender uses the woman’s age and month of conception.The most accurate results use lunar months instead of the regular months. These months run about 29 days.
You can just look at the ages themselves and come to an idea whether or not you will have a boy or girl or not. The ages are ranged from 18 to 45. On the chart the ages more likely of having a girl are 21, 22, 30, 31, 32, and 34. If you are 18, 20, 23, 26, 31, or 43, you are more likely to have a boy. However, there are some ages where there is no higher percentage of one more than the other. These ages are 28, 29, 35, 40, 42, and 45. If you are 19, 24, or 33, there is a 7 to 5 odd that you will have a girl. It is not as definite as the other ages but it is still more likely than having a boy. The exact opposite of having a boy with the same odds 25, 27, 36, 37, 41, and 44.
Based on the conception month the odds on what sex your baby will be change. The months do not have as many one way or the other odds. January, February, May, and October each have 3 to 4 odds of being a boy. April has a to 3 to 4 odds in favor of being a girl. June, August, September, and November are all 15 to 13 in favor of a girl. March and December both have a fifty -fifty chance of your baby being a boy or girl. The only odd month is July where the odds are outstandingly in favor of having a boy at 9 to 19 according to the chart.
When looking at the spread you can notice that boys are more common when you look at the ages, but when looking at the conception month it is fifty-fifty. Of course, there are the many ages and couple of months that are a fifty-fifty chance anyway. It is curious thing to notice when pregnant at what age you are not only the month you conceived but the odds of it being a boy or girl at any month.
The Chinese conception chart should be used for entertainment purposes only. This should not be used to help you get an idea of what color to paint the baby’s room or what kind of clothes to pick out. That is what your doctor is for. So, have some fun with the chart. Who knows it may turn out correct. There are only one of two things your baby can be.
