50:50 here! First one correct and second, not.

Nope - I should have 1 boy and 2 girls according to that but I have 3 boys!

TiaraBoo · 22/10/2024 00:58

Wrong for both of mine too!

EMary12345 · 22/10/2024 00:33

Wrong for both mine!

LouH1981 · 22/10/2024 00:30

It got both of mine wrong. I had a boy and a girl but it predicted other way round.

Impossible to be accurate for me as I had boy/girl twins

I'm correcting your use of the word "triggered", as implied by my quoting your 7-word post using that word. It's very simple.

Ok, go off Queen! You can rest easy tonight….

@Dreamingofthree did you miss the maths classes at school when they focused on probability?

Nothing about this is a prediction - its just probability. Nowt else.

unnecessarily rude.

i don’t actually think it’s magic, rather I’m just interested in how many it was right/ not right for, as everyone in my immediate circle it was right for.

FrequentNameChanger2024 · 21/10/2024 23:42

Right for my first 2 but not my 3rd

discoballdave · 21/10/2024 23:36

Right for me every time except on my last baby. Predicted another girl and he's definitely got a penis!

Wonderlust233 · 21/10/2024 23:33

Why are these things always correct for me and my siblings 😭😭😭 like how can it guess 20 kids accurately.

The 21st one when I start planning for a girl will be incorrect though I bet!

RareitySparkles · 21/10/2024 23:31

3 out of four is correct. Weirdly, when my eldest was born he was taken straight out the room to be resuscitated and we asked the Dr what we had and she said girl si always joke we had a dd and someone with five sons asked to swop. But, he looks like his siblings so maybe not

steff13 · 21/10/2024 23:27

Mine says girl, girl, boy. I have boy, boy, girl. 100% wrong

Mumofteenandtween · 21/10/2024 23:24

Wrong for both of mine!

im not sure what you think you’re correcting me on…?

I’ve not said that this is a bastion of Chinese culture or traditional Chinese medicine.

rather that there is this chart, that is known by this name (inappropriately maybe) was it accurate for you as it was eerily so for me and everyone I know who’s had a kid. You don’t have to answer if it upsets you

"eerily so" meaning a 50-50 shot? Wow! So eerie!

"triggered" refers to a strong emotional reaction from PTSD caused by trauma. People who use it to mean "upset" "angry" "hurt" or "mildly bothered" are simply ignorant and ill-informed. Or just reacting poorly to being corrected on the internet.

"commonly". Sure. When most people in this thread had never heard of it before.

A simple google will show you that

It is commonly referred to as the Chinese gender prediction calculator, it may be inappropriately called that, but a simple google will tell you that. The link I shared by the baby centre was just for ease. I’m not saying it’s evidence based rather it’s a light hearted thread asking if it has been accurate for you with your children/ grandchildren.

"commonly". Sure. When most people in this thread had never heard of it before.

Grow up.
