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.
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 monthis 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.
When using the Chinese conception chart, it is good to remember that it is all in good fun. It is an entertaining way to get a guess at your baby’s gender. Sometimes the chart proves true, but it is not 100% accurate and in no way scientific. So, use this chart for a bit of entertaining, but not for getting your hopes up about how to design your baby room.
