i think this was a topic on IG or somewhere else..? anyone believe in this with regards to TTC on a certain day per calendar to conceive a certain gender. has it worked for anyone?
as far as what i have seen, the month i conceived my 1st was opposite. and i know you have to use your chinese age. and the older you get the chances of conceiving boys are less....
is anyone including this in their sway?
anyone using a psychic?
I am trying to ignore the Chinese gender charts, because there are a bunch of them out there. And while some are 100% right for me, others are 2/3 right, some not at all. The way I am trying to see it, there are enough versions out there that anyone could find one that was right for them... so that doesn't mean they are accurate. It is more just coincidence, I think. I hope!
i guess i have found that too, there are diff versions...
all the ones I checked said both my daughters should really be boys. So I really don't believe chinese gender charts.
that's right so can't be true , don't believe itQuote:

Don't believe it at all tbh!
This exactly! For example, ChinaGold claims 66% accuracy :sigh:Quote:

See the thing that gets me is, there is one in particular that is right for me and several friends, and I hate that! I hate that it seems like it "knows", because it scares me to try and defy it by swaying on months that say the wrong thing. I wish who ever made it would just fess up and say that it is all a big hoax, so that I could relax a little!! I hope that a good sway would override it, anyway--because 66% isn't all that great of odds anyway, right??Quote:

The Jonas method is totally inaccurate because he claims that you can ovulate more than once a month (even if you did not get your period) and that is 100% totally untrue.Quote:

As you get older, your chances of conceiving boys really ARE less. That's a fact!
EXACTLY!!!! But it's just like flipping a coin, your guesses are accurate sometimes but you would never bet your home and family on that!Quote:

Atomic, why is it that women are less likely to conceive a boy when they are older? That scares me. I am 38 and am TTC boy!
Well i just checked and it was right for both my ds and my friends 2 children!! Fingers crossed its right for this pregnancy too!

okay now im getting obsessed about this. ive been looking up all my friernds who have boys and this last chart was right for every one (tho im just estimating conception months). for me i plan on TTC in sept (girl) but if i wait one more month (oct) the chart says boy. why did i get myself into this!!!! :-)
Well, hopefully you will get a BFP in September! :) Seriously, though, I wouldn't put too much stock in it. It can't be right for everyone; if it was a proven, sure-fire way to predict gender, people would be using this instead of spending thousands on high tech!! :) (that said, though, it doesn't make me feel very good about TTC boy in a girl month!)Quote:

Wrong 3 of 4 times for me! Why is it the only one that was ever right was the one I looked at and got my hopes up so high for DS 3???:hair:Quote:
