I want to say I read that it's 80% or something? Have any of you ladies tried one of those tests? I'm curious as to how accurate they actually are.

That is the intelligender test. I haven't taken it but it's supposed to measure the acid/alkaline of your urine. I believe that is the basis of baking soda/drain0/bleach tests too (with acidic ruin pointing to boy & alkaline urine for girl, I believe)

Just tried the old wives tale (as far as I could go being only 14 weeks along) and the Chinese chart and both say boy which goes along well with the stats in my husband's family- 6 brothers have kids and 5 have boys for their first born. The 6th brother has 3 girls, so he throws off the line a bit, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out its a boy since my husband has 8 brothers and 5 sisters. (BIG family *grins*) He swears its going to be a girl because he knows that's what I want so we'll see here in a few weeks.

Chinese gender chart says girl.

I'm sure it's a girl, too.  I'm too early for the ultrasound, but I know.  I just know.

(And I really want another boy!)

[sjdragonfly]

I'm curious for the women who have found out what they're having (all boys so far!), were any of these tests right for you?

[Stephenie]

None. Everything said I should be having a girl! lol

So I decided to go back to 2010 (on my Facebook timeline) to see how my dad's record is of predicting gender. He insisted Mae would be a girl. He insisted my nephew Liam would be a boy... and now, he insists I'm having another boy.

[crunchyxianmom]

My dad always said I'd have all boys -- and for almost 11 years, he's been right! Suddenly this pregnancy he's decided there's a possibility I might have a girl!  LOL.  That one shocked me -- I figured he'd hold out until proven wrong!  Hoping to find out through u/s in March.  I have no patience to wait if I don't have to!

All wrong for me!  I tried the ring on a string, peeing on baking soda, chinese gender predictor, and a couple of the online quizzes that are based on old wives' tales.  EVERYTHING said girl, also including my abnormally sore boobs, but all were wrong- our baby is most definitely a boy.

[deborahbgkelly]

Based on old wives' tales I got 67% chance of girls and 33% chance of boys. Clearly things have changed, but I don't think they account for more than one babe. Mine will be only one gender, but I still think the experience is different.

Everything was wrong for me. Every test and "symptom" I had said girl (chinese gender, baking soda, old wives, sore boobs, hb in the 160s) but there was definately a giant penis on the ultrasound. Even before the tech said it I could plainly see it lol. DH was a little disappointed but as far as I could tell the baby had a developed 4 chamber heart, which is what is truly important to me. We will be going to another (level 2) ultrasound to look mainly at the heart in a couple weeks and Im sure they will look at gender again, but there was no mistaking it lol.

[Nicole730]

Well, my instincts have said boy. But old wives tales, chinese gender prediction, and drano all say Girl. I have an ultrasound in a few weeks to find out!

[inkandpaper]

Well since dp and I have switched to team green, I suppose I should start the gender predicting.  Chinese gender chart says boy for me.  I've been thinking of this little one as a boy, but we'll see...

Today we found out that (unless there was an error in the determination) we're having a girl. So... the Chinese Gender chart, cravings (sweet/fruity vs. salty/meaty), and acne tests were all correct. The baking soda test was not. This pregnancy has definitely been different for me - very sick with morning (and noon, and night) sickness with my sons, almost none at all with this one. I think that's all I looked at. Can't really determine belly shape yet and hadn't done the ring on a string test.

In my case, unless there was an error, the Chinese gender chart and the sort of consolidated old wives' tale quiz I took were wrong (as well as my tarot card reader and my "intuition")--all said boy. Baking soda test and heart rate were right. LOL!

[onemomma]

I just did the baking soda test and the draino test, and they both say girl. That's what my instincts say too. I guess we'll see...

The Chinese calendar is wrong for me 2/3 times, so I don't trust it. My symptoms have been pretty different with male and female pregnancies though, so that's what I tend to look at.

[deborahbgkelly]

Okay- so Chinese test was right, but old wives' tale quiz was wrong (assuming things are confirmed in a few weeks). Also, my hunch was right. We got a guess at boys (as in looking boyish) yesterday at 16 weeks 5 days. Looked pretty clear to me.

[rivkajean]

For us the chinese predictor, it was wrong with baby #1, right with #2 AND RIGHT THIS TIME with #3! It's a girl.
The wives tales ones i've done were right too. I didn't do the baking soda one though.

My instincts were wrong and the silly gender predictors were correct.  I am having a girl!

[scowgirl]

Congratulations, Nicole! 

[fruitfulmomma]

Mayan (maternal age and year of conception are both even or both odd = girl), Chinese Calendar, and Heartbeat all predicted girl and US yesterday at 21 weeks says they are right. Oh, and the craving sweets too.
