The Chinese Baby Calendar was discovered about 700 years ago by a Chinese scientist. It is believed to be very accurate by many in the far east, while Westerners aren’t so sure. The Chinese Gender Calendar can be a lot of fun whether you’re a “believer” or not.
In order to get accurate results using the Chinese gender predictor, you need to understand the differences between the Chinese Lunar Calendar and the Gregorian Calendar used here in the west.

First you need to know the month of conception, remember conception not birth. Some have mistakenly used the actual birth date and of course this won’t give you an accurate result, so be sure you use the month of conception!
The confusing part for most people is figuring the mothers age at conception, this is her age on the Chinese calendar not the Gregorian Calendar used in the west.
To figure the mother-to-be’s month of conception just add 9 months from her date of birth. Also take into consideration the fact that the Chinese New Year falls on a different date every year, always between January 22 and February 22.
Now using the parameters above, you simply figure the babys month of conception as well as the mothers month of conception, follow the two columns till they intersect and if the square is blue-it’s a boy, but if it’s pink you’ll be having a girl baby.
If you want to see if the calendar was right or wrong, you could of course have an ultra-sound in your seventh or eighth month and know for sure. The Chinese Gender Prediction Calendar can be a lot of fun regardless, so break it out at your next baby shower, and enjoy!
The Chinese Baby Calendar can be lots of fun to experiment with, but regardless of gender, you new baby is a gift and deserves to be loved and nurtured.

Chinese Conception Chart Offers A Sneak Peek at Baby Gender
Women love ways of guessing what gender their baby will be. A fun way to learn of your baby’s gender is with the Chinese Conception Chart. It is an ancient chart believed to have been found in a royal tomb over 700 years ago. Now, the chart is said to be on display at the Beijing Institute of Science in China.
This chart is fun to use, but is not based on anything technical. Even if it is accurate does not mean that it should be taken seriously. It takes the age of the pregnant woman and the month of conception and decides whether the baby will be a boy or girl. Supposedly to get results that are more accurate it is better to use the lunar months instead of regular months. The months run 29 days in the lunar months.
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.
The chances of having a boy or girl varies from age to conception month. In some areas it is predictable, but like with the actuality of having a baby it really is fifty-fifty. The odds when looking at age vary a little more than conception month. Either way, the chart leans more towards having a boy than girl. That may be just the Chinese’s obsession with having boys, though.
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.
