Well I'm pregnant with a girl now and it's just told me I'm having a boy 🤣

hoarahloux · 21/10/2024 22:17

So every 30 year old who conceived in July is having a girl? This is ridiculous, of course it's not accurate.

It's also basic racism to associate this nonsense with Chinese culture. It's just random guessing.

ChirpyBee · 21/10/2024 22:18

Don't be daft.

jonesybonesy · 21/10/2024 22:19

It has been correct with all 4 of my children

Isitfridayyetsophie · 21/10/2024 22:19

Wrong for me

mamaof2under2 · 21/10/2024 22:20

Told me two girls and I have two boys 🤣🤣

Trickabrick · 21/10/2024 22:20

Wrong for 3 out of 4 of mine!!

Onetwothreemisstwo123 · 21/10/2024 22:21

Got 1 out of 3 right for me, however the one it got right was a boy when I had boy/girl dt (so it was always going to get that one right).

ShamblesRock · 21/10/2024 22:21

Got 2 out of 3.

So the same if I had just tossed a coin.

fourelementary · 21/10/2024 22:21

Right 4/4 for mine!!

But wrong 2/2 for my grandchildren!

Pinkypup · 21/10/2024 22:23

It got both of mine right.
then I did my second child again. Same info - it changed to the opposite….its full of shhhhhit!!

Bagpuss83 · 21/10/2024 22:23

I heard it's a 50:50 chance. But that's better than just guessing.

tulippa · 21/10/2024 22:23

Only got it 50% correct for me.

doodleschnoodle · 21/10/2024 22:24

One out of two for me.

How on earth can age and month have any meaningful interaction in conceiving a child?

Armadillosparkle · 21/10/2024 22:25

It’s just told me my 7 year old boy is a girl so yeah load of rubbish I’m afraid.

Let’s not go there, it’s commonly referred to as the Chinese gender prediction calendar.

whilst I’m not of Chinese heritage or origin my acupuncturist is and there is a lot in traditional Chinese medicine about when you were born and different energies. I’m not saying this is the epitome of ancient Chinese medicine but it’s not totally out there

teatimelover · 21/10/2024 22:26

It was pretty accurate for me both times 😅

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 21/10/2024 22:26

I should have had a girl according to this but I have a little boy.

bruffin · 21/10/2024 22:29

Said i should have 2 boys, i have a boy and girl

CrispyCrumpets · 21/10/2024 22:30

I mean, it can only be nonsense right? Like a previous poster pointed out, everyone the same age conceiving in the same month would have to have the same sex child. That is quite obviously not the case. Do you really think this is true?

nopenotplaying · 21/10/2024 22:31

50/50 chance for of being right 😂

Also, to complicate things your 'Chinese' age is different.

It's not racism. It's a calendar created by Chinese people for predicting gender ffs

LochKatrine · 21/10/2024 22:31

Wrong for me, and my sister.
More accurate to toss a coin!

MiraculousLadybug · 21/10/2024 22:34

I was actually pregnant in China with DC1 and had my antenatal care there and no one ever tried to predict the baby's sex like this. 🤣 Also I just tried it out and it was wrong. 🤷‍♀️

TheOriginalEmu · 21/10/2024 22:38

Got all 5 of mine right!

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 21/10/2024 22:39

Wrong for all 4 of my pregnancies.
