PLS! REFUTE this Old Wives Tale!

[sosapop]

So now as I consider moving forward this month with another attempt, I cannot shake my aunt who is adamant about this old wives tale...so please tell me this is not true for you, but if it is let me know too.. It is true for me and my two pregnancies!

She says that you take your age at conception plus the month you conceived and if it is even it's a girl and odd a boy. Example: Age 32 + 9 (for the month of September) = 41, ODD which would be a boy.

So if I try this month, I need to locate a rose quartz bracelet, salt lamp, put a spoon under the bed, and really hit it hard with diet :-) If anything I am back on to just my coffee this morning, since I majorly slipped up this week - UGH!

It's wrong for me, it says I would have a Boy.

Old Wives Tales are just what they sound like I've learned!

I love the - ion thing, I did that in my sway!

whats with the wooden spoon i might try that one ?

The above was wrong with my first son i was 24 he was conceived in oct = 34 = even so wrong
second son i was 26 + 12 dec = 38 =even so wrong
3rd son i was 29 + 10 for oct = 39 odd so the only one thats right

I think thats go to show its just guess work !!

YEAH!! Starting to breathe a sign of relief!! The wooden spoon, all I know is that it too is an old wives tale that I place under the mattress - who knows... But I figure I need to stack everything on my side just to get that one tale out of my head

[Jadis]

Wrong for me!!

[NeedAGirl!]

Wrong for me too!

[hotdogz&boyz]

Wrong for my first (24 and 2 for February is 26 and even). He is all boy.

Right for my second (26 and 1 for January is 27 and odd). He, too, is a boy.

[The Anchor]

Right for my DD and wrong for my DS...

WHY would this be true, scientifically? "Months" don't even exist, they're a man-made concept just for the sake of convenience and they don't even work with the natural cycles of earth, moon, and sun (which is why that pesky leap year shows up to harass us every 4 years).

DS 1 - 20 years old + 3 (Mar) ODD
DS 2 - 25 years old + 9 (Sept) EVEN
DS 3 - 36 years old + 6 (June) EVEN
DS 4 - 38 years old + 3 (Mar) ODD
DD 41 years old + 11 (Nov) EVEN

right for three wrong for two. Just a coincidence.

My first I was 30, conceived in July (7) (so odd) and she is a girl.
My second two are both odd, and one is a boy, and one s a girl.
