just wanted to reanswer this since it's coming back around again, this was wrong for 4 of 5 of my children.

wrong for 1 of mine...not sure if I answered last time it came around!
Nope, DD1 was born in August showing we'd have a boy next, DD2 came along December which shows boy next. Chinese calender said DD1 should've been a boy but obviously not, though she is a tomboy but was right about DD2
Ok this actually seems to be right for me.
My DD was born in June and it says a boy was next.
My DS was born 2 years later in July.
I had my 1st m/c which would've been due in December 2013 - didn't know the gender but said the next one was a boy.
My 2nd m/c was a boy, he would've been due in March but says this next baby is a girl.
Hoping it's right even though I think it is coincidence lol!! :fx:
This says when baby is due, but does it mean EDD or actual delivery month?

Try it both ways and see what it says! :) (I know you don't know when your baby is going to be born yet though!)
This is an OWT meaning that you have flexibility to do it whatever way makes sense to YOU. Since you don't know when your baby will be born yet, then do EDD. :)
Thanks Atomic *sigh* I don't know why I went off the deep end last night digging through older posts on here. I'm all anxious now about having this baby in May, when before I was ecstatic to be potentially going early... and even doing this on multiple people I know in real life is mixed! (My second sister should have been a boy; my niece should have been a boy; my husband's sister should have been a boy, another soon-to-be niece should have been a boy). I'm even realizing... where even is the source of this, haha?!
I think the underlying anxiety of having a baby is making me go all over the place, and the "control diet/get a boy" is my go to coping :worry:
So what is it saying that you'll have another girl if you have a baby in May?? I can't remember how this one works but I do remember it was wrong for me. :) I know it messes with your head though. Everyone thinks that I'm being a harda$$ since I don't like you guys doing the OWT "They're just for fun!!" But for many of us, even though OTHER people can do it for fun, we can't, because it messes with our heads so much. Even when we KNOW with every fiber of our beings that they are totally bogus it still messes with our heads. :/
Yeah, it says I'd have a girl if I have the baby in May... but I'm due in June, hence my question!
I definitely don't think you're a hardass... I'm glad you're as anti-OWT as you are, because I have taken much solace in being that way too! That's why I'm sitting here going, "Almost every scientific study points to me being able to have a boy... but this random forum post is making me doubt everything?!" How long can I keep blaming pregnancy hormones for this craziness, lolol?!
It's not hormones and it's not irrational either. I've read a very convincing evolutionary biology discussion about belief in the supernatural and the jist was, it is actually somewhat irrational and unscientific to write off ANYTHING just out of hand - I mean back in the day, can you imagine being the dude who was like "disease is caused by these tiny things that are invisible and I don't know what they are yet but they're totally THERE!!" or "there is an invisible force that is sucking us down to the earth or else we'd go flying off into space, look, this apple just hit me on the head" It sounds crazy!
It's actually scientific and rational to keep an open mind about things and to acknowledge there are more things in heaven and earth than Richard Dawkins ever could possibly imagine, and just because we don't understand how something might work yet - it's actually unscientific and irrational to not at least pause to consider the validity of everything that comes your way.
Now, the obvious downside is that there is a quirk of our brains that makes us have that niggling voice of doubt in the back of our minds when faced with things that are NOT true as well, but ironically it's actually a STRENGTH to do that and not a weakness. :)
