It was correct for me. But then, it had a 50% chance of being so!

I love the grape name, just saying Smile that's superb.

I found the Chinese Gender Predictor to be incorrect on various occasions. It is bollocks but yes it's just for fun isn't it.

Bit like the MN ovulation predictor

It was right for me twice, however if your fertile period us at the end/beginning of the month, you can't really tell exactly which month you have conceived in.

It was right both times for me, and for my sister but I still wouldn't take it seriously.

It was right for me!

I'd go with the babies heartbeat as one midwife I saw told me about it, and that was also correct for me :)

Was wrong for my DD.

If you look at one where there is a poll, can't remember which one, of the people that know the sex of their child, 47% said it was wrong (& 28% still didn't know)...

So no better than the whole dangle a ring, gut a goat or just plain guess thing!!!

Try the nub theory . It was right for me and a few other mums I know. Chinese theory sounds far too faffy
