Old Wives Tales - Gender

I posted this in my May board and then realized they probably don't know the gender....just like me.

 What ones do you know? 

I have done the ring test, it says girl.  So does the Chinese gender chart but there are so many different ones.  I am on the border of August and September being my conception month, so it's a little confusing.

 Which old wives tales worked for you?

    This.  that is why they are old wives tales, there is absolutely no factual/scientific basis for them.  Besides there is a 50/50 chance, those odds aren't too bad.

    The thing that worked best was the amniocentesis. It was definitive.

    I think the Chinese Gender Chart was correct, but like pp said, it's a 50/50 shot. All the other "signs" for a girl were opposite (read "wrong") for me. Craving salt, no morning sickness, etc.

    Anything that I read would indicate a boy.  I didn't try the ring test or those kind of predictors.  I had 3 dreams from 21ish wks through 37wks (delivery) and all 3 dreams indicated a girl.  Some say when you gain a lot of weight (depends on what you read bc some say the opposite HAHA), it's a girl.  Some say if it's a girl it takes your beauty away from you.  I gained no weight, as in you couldn't tell I was pregnant from behind and I was fairly petite.  I also never had break outs and always looked fine and like my normal self.  I had a girl.

    LO # 1- Ring test incorrectly said boy, Fetal heartbeat correctly said girl.

    One or the other would have been right.  LOL

     LO # 2- Fetal heart beats have been 170 and 158, so that seems to indicate another girl.  I haven't tried the ring test this time around.

    Bwahahahahhahahaha @ madlady. :)

    None of them worked for us.  I guess the ring test was right (said boy for DS), but the HB was all wrong.  The ring test predicted girl for this one; guess we'll see in ~12ish weeks (and FWIW, this one's HB is completely opposite DS's - he was always really high, this one is consistently in the 130s-140s).

    It's all a 50/50 shot.

    Every one I did said something different...and I took one of those OWT quizzes and it said "You're having a....BABY!"(50% chance of girl and 50% chance of boy...huh, shocker.) I would say generally most people thought I was having a boy based off of my symptoms, but I had a few people who were POSITIVE it was a girl. They were right.

    I was split right down the middle in terms of OWTs.

    The Chinese gender chart said I was having a girl and that was correct.

    Even though EVERYONE told me I was having a boy, deep down, from the very beginning, I knew it was a girl.
