Chinese Conception Chart Offers A Sneak Peek at Baby Gender

For centuries, women have used several unusual means for guessing the gender of their baby. One of the more elaborate ways to "figure out" the unborn child's gender is the Chinese Conception Chart.This document was believed to be found in a tomb over seven hundred years ago.The chart is now on display at the Beijing Institute of Science in China.

The chart is not based on any science and whether it is factual or not varies. The chart uses the age of the woman and the month of conception to decide whether the baby will be a boy or girl. Although, to get more accurate results it is best to use lunar months, which are 29 days long.

The age that you are when becoming pregnant is usually a hit or miss with one of the sexes on the chart. Ages on the chart of more likely having a girl on an 18 to 45 range are 21, 22, 30, 31, 32, and 34. The ages more likely of having a boy are 18, 20, 23, 26, 31, and 43. Ages 19, 24, and 33 are close with girls only being more common on a scale of 7 to 5. The same 7 to 5 ratio can be applied to the ages 25, 27, 36, 37, 41, and 44. These ages, however, boys are out numbering girls. Ages 28, 29, 35, 39, 40, 42, and 45, it is a fifty -fifty chance of having a girl or boy.

Looking at the conception months, things are less broad. The months do not lean as much one way or the other as the ages do. In January, February, May, and October the odds of having a boy are much higher than of having a girl. July is the best month to try to get pregnant if wanting to have a boy. June, August, September, and November, while not extremely greater, it is more common to have a girl according to the chart. April has better odds of producing a girl. If you do not care either way then March and December are good months for you.

When looking at the spread you can notice that boys are more common when you look at the ages, but when looking at the conception month it is fifty-fifty. Of course, there are the many ages and couple of months that are a fifty-fifty chance anyway. It is curious thing to notice when pregnant at what age you are not only the month you conceived but the odds of it being a boy or girl at any month.

The Chinese conception chart is a fun thing to use when pregnant. It is interesting to find out if the chart was correct or not. It is always curious to look behind the chart at the overall chances. This is not scientific though and has no basis other than to have fun. Although, it sometimes proves accurate that does not mean you should get your hopes up that whatever you fall into will bring you a boy or girl. Do not get ahead of yourself when using this chart. Always, see your doctor about the sex of your baby.
