what do you guys make of this theory on this site:

[nini]

...Will I have a boy or girl? Can I choose the sex of my baby? (http://www.sexratio.com)...

It basically bases its guess on what gender you are likely to conceive iwthin the next 5 weeks on the emotional state of the woman....

[rainbowflower]

interesting..., not good for me, though!



Out of ten possible categories, your score put you in Category 6.

Of all the women who have taken this test so far, 8% have had scores that put them in Category 6.

Of those women, 75% of them have conceived and given birth to boys, and 25% have conceived and given birth to girls.

So for you we would predict, if you become pregnant within the next 4 - 5 weeks, you would be 25% likely to conceive a girl and 75% likely to conceive a boy.

[nini]

I have been playing around a bit and basically the more insecure and depressed you chose the emotional state, the more likely you are to conceive pink.

[littlemisswilko]

if thats true im 80% girl 20% boy but im already pregnant!

[purplepoet20]

For me it said...

Out of ten possible categories, your score put you in Category 2.

Of all the women who have taken this test so far, 15% have had scores that put them in Category 2.

Of those women, 15% of them have conceived and given birth to boys, and 85% have conceived and given birth to girls.

So for you we would predict, if you become pregnant within the next 4 - 5 weeks, you would be 85% likely to conceive a girl and 15% likely to conceive a boy.

.... better be right because now I have my hopes up!

I'm pretty depressed and emotional... but I also ticked some of the happy ones as well as the sad ones because even though I'm depressed/stressed/anxious my DS makes me so happy and proud

From what I gather on the site, the author of the book bases her theory purely on testosterone levels....

[HappyLea]

for me it said if i got pregnant in next 4-5 weeks my chances would be 80% girl 20% boy!

[purplepoet20]

I'm pretty depressed and emotional... but I also ticked some of the happy ones as well as the sad ones because even though I'm depressed/stressed/anxious my DS makes me so happy and proud

Same for me I am depressed but my boys make me happy... Nothing like cuddling with my two boys and thoughts a were a girl could be in that moment!

[zanacal]

I did that while I was swaying - it said I was bound to conceive a boy!

[nini]

I'm pretty depressed and emotional... but I also ticked some of the happy ones as well as the sad ones because even though I'm depressed/stressed/anxious my DS makes me so happy and proud

I actually felt pretty much exactly like that and went on to conceive my daughter. Fingers crossed xxx

[atomic sagebrush]

I think it's interesting and fun and even based a bit on science BUT I think that testosterone can be changed by diet and supps (and there's a heck of a lot more to gender ratio than testosterone anyway!!) Let alone that the best data we have also indicates the man brings something to the table as well.

The problem I have with this site is that anyone who kinda knows what the "right" answers are, can simply skew their responses (even subconsciously) to get the outcome that they were hoping for, KWIM?

Look at it this way - Michelle Duggar was the same person when she conceived 4-5 boys in a row as she was when she conceived 4-5 girls in a row!! Not like she had a personality transplant any point in there!!

[atomic sagebrush]

Ok so now I went and took the test and I'm a little concerned because it also has you enter your age and the number and gender of your previous kids...which evidence indicates can indicate to some extent your future kids (some studies have indicated that the more kids you have and the older you are, the more likely your chance of a girl). So I'm not sure how much stock to put into the psychology test anyway!
Here was my result

Out of ten possible categories, your score put you in Category 3.

Of all the women who have taken this test so far, 20% have had scores that put them in Category 3.

Of those women, 20% of them have conceived and given birth to boys, and 80% have conceived and given birth to girls.

So for you we would predict, if you become pregnant within the next 4 - 5 weeks, you would be 80% likely to conceive a girl and 20% likely to conceive a boy.

[nini]

I agree, atomic sagebrush, its way too easy, but its definitely one of the more interesting tests out there....

Interesting, the more kids the more likely to have girls.... I recently saw this report on a lady who has 10 kids. First 5: 4 boys and 1 girl. 2nd 5: 4 girls and 1 boy. One good thing about aging....

go seduce that DH of yours lol ;)

[LolaInLove]

I took it and it gave me a 65% boy and 35% girl chance....and I'm almost 36 and DH is 39.....very interesting. But I did mark a lot of power stuff like responsible and proud, etc (mostly due to job) but happy stuff. I marked a few frustration points due to the infertility stuff. Still got a blue lean. Hmmmm.

I agree and I think it's much much better than the dang Chinese Gender Predictor! :) I really appreciate you sharing it with us!

My great-grandma had 6 girls and then 2 boys and I know a woman who has 8 daughters in a row and is now pg with her second son!

[atomic sagebrush]

go seduce that DH of yours lol ;)

Haha he's onto me tho!!! :)

haha if only it was garunteed lol, according to my ignorant u/s tech that has been with my ob for 20+ yrs she thinks its impossible for me to have a girl lol I hate arguing with her so we dont talk gender or if its possible to go on to have a girl after 4 boys, I just hope I get the chance to rub it in her nose one day heehee

[Cinss]

[Pangea]

It said I'm 85% likely to conceive a girl. I'm a bit skeptical though, I would have checked all the same boxes before I conceived my two boys.

[atomic sagebrush]

makes me wonder how much stock they're putting into the genders of your prev. kids and your age!!

[Coccinelle33]

I have done this in the past as well and it always says I have a 80%-90% chance of conceiving a girl. It was wrong with me last!

[jude17]

I have been playing around a bit and basically the more insecure and depressed you chose the emotional state, the more likely you are to conceive pink.

I wonder why being depressed/insecure would sway girl for this test? I feel quite depressed at the moment but I bet it still won't get me my girl!

[Wishing4Princess]

uh..i'm not sure if there's any truth to this but when i took the test, it indicated that I have 90% chance of conceiving a girl and 10% chance of a boy lol..makes me want to do my attempt this cycle! lol

[nini]

I wonder why being depressed/insecure would sway girl for this test? I feel quite depressed at the moment but I bet it still won't get me my girl!

Her theory is that hormonal levels in women decide the gender of the child (which is partially true). Typically a woman that lets say leads a more dominant life style (for example a "career orientated woman" that works amongst men) can have higher testosterone levels and thus is more likely to have a son. A woman that is at home, "inferior" to her husband, might have lower testosterone levels. I remember reading about a study that showed that women with a more positive outlook on life or leading a prosperous lifestyle is more likely to have a boy. It all makes sense, but its not as easy as the test suggests. Please dont take it seriously! Hope you will get your girly real soon xxxxx

[starflower]

Hmm... interesting! For me it says category 3 which is 80% girl and 20% boy..... wonder how much of that is the fact that I am on holidays for another week and if the results will change when I go back to work next week! I think so!
All good for a bit of fun though, thanks for sharing Nini :)

[atomic sagebrush]

Can indicate lower testosterone levels.

[vada79]

Ok, first I was honest. I am very happy and proud (I love my job), I ticked lots of strong and happy words. The same for my DH, he is in a good mood too.
Result was: 85% boy. Category 8.

Then I did it again and ticked all the depressing words (I'm not depressed though). Now the result was Category 2 and 85% Girl.

Now when I conceived my son's I was depressed, and when on antidepressants after birth (didn't wanna take any during pregnancy)
Now I just came off antidepressants a month ago and TTC a girl. I hope it won't make me depressed even if that would increase my chance for a girl according to that test.

But the Testosterone... I always had high levels of this, taking BCP that counteracts this as otherwise I have breakouts even at 30. So once I will get off the BCP I will definitely need to use something to keep my testosterone low. I believ it plays a part.

[Princess of Pink]

Mine said I was more likely to conceive a boy! I guess my life is so different now to when I had my girls. I work full-time in a high stress job and care for 5 kids pretty much all alone most of the year. I take on most of the responsibility in our lives and have to be in control and super organised. Nothing like I was with the other 5...not sure that will make me actually produce a male though.

[XXdreaming]

I wouldn't say I was depressed, my life is slow lol I am a sahm that does the same boring thing over and over everyday, but I am content with my life, I am hopeful and know I will have my life when my kids are grown but right now I love my life being all about them, my life is peaceful and very little stress, I didn't check what I thought was depressing , maybe because I didn't check all the exciting or outgoing ones? (I believe it said 85% girl I replied on the 1st page)

[rainbowflower]

interesting..., not good for me, though!
well... it was correct!

[sushikitty]

90% girl based on my results and I have 4/5 sons. Or I beat the odds of having a girl, haha.

[Funkyfry]

Mmm interesting! 90% chance if having a girl if I conceive in next 4-5 weeks

[atomic sagebrush]

I do want to point out that the results are somewhat invalidated for we lovely ladies on this site since we kinda know what the "right" answers are and may be somewhat inclined to give them (consciously or subconsciously) in the hopes that we hear what we want to hear.

[rainbowflower]

I think you're right, although it still said 85% chance of boy for me when I'd swayed pink and got my DS2 lol

[Everyonehasgirls]

Think it's a load of tosh (just like the Chinese calendar) but would love it to be true as 85% chance girl!!

[rainbowflower]

you're probably right, but if hormones influence emotions, and hormones sway, you might expect a very small link between emotions and swaying

[onebigwish]

For me it said 55%girl and 45%boy...categorie 4

[Raining]

For me it said 85% more likely to have a girl. I'm a lot happier/more carefree now though vs when I conceived my boys so maybe that's a factor.

[2bnaday]

Category 2 for me (85% girl)...I'll believe it when I see it! That was fun though - thanks! :)

[lovemy2blessings]

ohhh I really hope this is true!!!

[sbowman]

This is fascinating! I got category two, probably because we've just moved to a new place...and it's pretty awful lol. I spend most days pretty depressed, tbh. I hope it works in my favor, and something good can come from all that awful junk we've been through lately.
