Wedding ring test

Mrs.Foreste

I was always told if it swings back & forth it means boy... and if it goes in a circle it means girl.

But I just took a couple of old wives tale tests online (yes I know I'm a loser) & it said that if it swings back & forth that means a girl & vice versa.  Which one is it?  It always swings back & forth for me... how about you?

Bck and forth is a girl and circle is a boy.  DH and I did this several time and it always went in a circle our ultrasound comfirmed it was a boy.

I was confused by those online things too because I always heard by mouth it was circle= girl, back and forth= boy. I think the websites all got their info from one source

True haha.  I always see you on here & never realized it was you, but I had your wedding bio saved in my favorites since like a year ago when I was regular knottie planning my wedding!

My test was a definitive "Back and forth."  Whatever we've decided that means.

I always was told that back and forth was boy, and circles was girl. Mine swung back and forth and I am having a boy, it was right for a few of my freinds too.  I did all the old wives tale quizes and all online too and besides this wedding ring trick, they all told me girl and I am having a boy.  I wouldnt trust them but they are always fun to do anyway!

 Unless it's really short, you can also use a strand of hair.

 I have always heard back and forth = boy and circle = girl.  If that's the case, it was right for me.

ditto -back and forth boy, circle girl. It was wrong for me though. It said boy but I am having a girl..

You can actually make it swing however you want by concentrating.  I know it sounds really dumb but as a school teacher, this is one of the activities (we replace the ring with a nut) that we have our students do during standardized tests.  It helps to break up the the test monotony.  Anyway, they hold the string with the nut tied to the end and I'll tell them to get it to go in circles without moving their hands.  I always works and they're always amazed.
