Fertility Chinese Pregnancy Calendar

Chinese Pregnancy Calendar and Gender Predictor

By Danielle Briones

Published on February 27, 2008

The Chinese pregnancy calendar was discovered in an ancient royal tomb more than 700 years ago. It was used to predict the gender of babies based on the age of the mother at the time of conception, as well as the month in which the baby was conceived.

Today, millions of American couples use the conception chart both before and after getting pregnant. Some people try to time their conception so that it occurs in a month when they're more likely to have a boy or a girl according to the chart. Other couples use the chart soon after achieving pregnancy in order to find out which gender the chart predicts the baby to be.

Either way, you can use the ancient Chinese pregnancy chart to predict the gender of your baby. Simply find the square that corresponds to the mother-to-be's age and the month of conception to find out whether you will have a boy or a girl!

It really doesn't make a whole lot of difference what chart you look at, as these charts have about as much scientific validity as the astrological predictions in tabloid newspapers -- i.e. none at all. Do note the disclaimer above stating "This chart should be used for entertainment purposes only."

IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHICH ONE YOU USE! You have to convert your age into lunar years, and even then they arent always accurate - try this link ...... http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/PredictSex.htm
It worked for my last pregnancy and nearly all out of 15 pregnancies I tested, all but one was right and that was twins of both genders.

Chinyere,
According to the chart at age 28 and conceived in May, it says your baby will be a girl if those dates are correct. If you conceived in April it will also be a girl.

Everyone thinks it goes by your actual age and it doesn't. You need to check your "lunar" or "gregorian chart" to find out what your age is.

You have to add a year onto your age as the chinese class you as being 1 year old from birth! It really does work and hasn't failed with any of my friens & family. It is absolutely amazing.

This calander is incorrect. You do not use the mother's actual age. You have to find the age of the mother in chinese. To get this i think u just add another 9 months to the moms current age and then you have their actual age. A better Chinese calander is found at http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/index.html

What happens if your birthday was 20 days ahead when you conceived.
Does that mean you need to consider the old age or the new one?

I found a useful article on calculating the lunar month..
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Determine the Chinese Lunar Age and Month:

# To use the chart, you must first know the age of the pregnant woman. However, that age must be according to the Chinese lunar calendar. To determine the Chinese lunar calendar age of the pregnant woman, you can use an online web tools which is linked below. Another way to calculate the Chinese lunar age of the mother-to-be is to follow these instructions: If you were born between January 1st and February 20th, (including these dates), then you should use your real, current age. However, if your birth date is between February 21st and December 31st (again including these days), then you would add one year to your current (English/Gregorian calendar) age. Secondly, you need to determine the month of conception. Again, this needs to be the Chinese Lunar month, not the Gregorian calendar month. Determining this can only be done specific to the year of conception; however, there are several online tools that can calculate it for you, one of which is linked below.

Using the Calendar to Predict Gender:

# Once you have determined the Chinese lunar age of the mother-to-be, and the lunar month of conception, you can use the calendar to predict the gender of the baby-to-be. The ages of the mother are listed across the top of the chart, with the months of conception down the left side. Simply find the month of conception, then go across until you stop at the age of the mother-to-be. You will be in a box that is either shaded pink or blue. Pink means that the baby is or will be a girl; blue, of course, means that the baby is, or will be, a boy. Because you can use the chart at any time, before or after the birth of a baby, it is possible to see if the chart can correctly predict the genders of children who have already been born. Note that most websites claim the chart is to be used for entertainment purposes only. In online polls, the accuracy of the chart runs to the expected 50%.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also there is an website (link below) which calculates your age in lunar month and predicts if its a boy or girl...Hope this helps to many without the hassle to add or subtract.
