Said girl for me; had twin boys

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!

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!

FrequentNameChanger2024 · 21/10/2024 23:42

Right for my first 2 but not my 3rd

@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.

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.

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

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 22/10/2024 00:11

Wrong for both of 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.

EMary12345 · 22/10/2024 00:33

Wrong for both mine!

TiaraBoo · 22/10/2024 00:58

Wrong for both of mine too!

YouWouldntKnowWhatIMean · 22/10/2024 01:00

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

LadyGAgain · 22/10/2024 01:02

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

Reserved101 · 22/10/2024 02:46

Wrong for me.

Googling, it has been studied and (surprise surprise) was shown to be no more accurate than tossing a coin.

ohyesherewego · 22/10/2024 04:03

Hope it is right for me!!!!!!!

Kingofthetyrantlizards · 22/10/2024 05:30

Told me two boys - I have one girl and expecting a boy.

I love doing the old wives tales to see what they would predict - the 'ring test' was right for DD but not tried it this time yet.

It's right around 50% of the time 🙄

SoiledMyselfDuringSomeTurbulence · 22/10/2024 05:43

50% success rate for me. Unconvincing!

Zanatdy · 22/10/2024 05:49

Correct for two of mine, couldn’t do eldest as I was 16 when he was born, and it starts at 18!

IBlameTheDog · 22/10/2024 05:59

I purposely conceived in a month that told me I would have a girl (20 years ago). I mean, it worked, but I still can't believe how much faith I put into it 🤦🏼‍♀️

CurlewKate · 22/10/2024 06:06

Obviously it's got a nearly 50% chance of being right every time. And obviously it's complete bollocks.

Ottersmith · 22/10/2024 06:07

You can get a blood test at 10w nowadays.

Lostatsea10 · 22/10/2024 06:08

Wrong for both of mine.

CurlewKate · 22/10/2024 06:10

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

Is it? Is it really?
