When waiting to see what the gender of your baby is going to be, the Chinese conception chart is a fun way to get a guess. This chart has been around for many centuries and is said to have been found in a royal tomb. It is now in the Beijing Institute of Science in China on display.
The chart is not based on any science and whether it is factual or not varies. The chart uses the age of the woman and the month of conception to decide whether the baby will be a boy or girl. Although, to get more accurate results it is best to use lunar months, which are 29 days long.
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.
Based on the conception month the odds on what sex your baby will be change. The months do not have as many one way or the other odds. January, February, May, and October each have 3 to 4 odds of being a boy. April has a to 3 to 4 odds in favor of being a girl. June, August, September, and November are all 15 to 13 in favor of a girl. March and December both have a fifty -fifty chance of your baby being a boy or girl. The only odd month is July where the odds are outstandingly in favor of having a boy at 9 to 19 according to the chart.
The chances of having a boy or girl varies from age to conception month. In some areas it is predictable, but like with the actuality of having a baby it really is fifty-fifty. The odds when looking at age vary a little more than conception month. Either way, the chart leans more towards having a boy than girl. That may be just the Chinese's obsession with having boys, though.
The Chinese conception chart should be used for entertainment purposes only. This should not be used to help you get an idea of what color to paint the baby's room or what kind of clothes to pick out. That is what your doctor is for. So, have some fun with the chart. Who knows it may turn out correct. There are only one of two things your baby can be.
