Old wives tales- boy or girl

So I know there are many other fun ways of telling if it's a boy or girl and I wanted to know a few more if any of you got them.
Here's a Chinese baby calendar for everyone to see. It says I'm having a boy!
Would love to know all your thoughts

Re: Old wives tales- boy or girl
If it fizzes it's a girl, if it just sinks to the bottom of your pee it's a boy.
Something about extra acidity in your pee if you're having a girl?
If the pimple thing is right, heck I'm having a girly girl. I've had a ton of acne.
There's another about how you pick up a key. If you pick up a key from the thin part, it's boy. If you pick it up from the head it's a girl?
(Weird)
If you've already had a kid, look at their hairline.
If it's straight across in the back, it means the same sex. If it comes to a point it means opposite sex.
(don't know why).
2:If you are carrying high with a big, round belly, you are having a girl. If you are carrying low with a smaller belly that sticks straight out, its a boy.
3:People believe that if you are craving salty foods while pregnant, you can count on having a boy. If you crave sweets, fruit, and orange juice, you are having a little girl.
4:If you are really moody, you are having a girl since you have another extra girl hormones in you. Your pregnancy will make you smile and be more happy if you are having a boy because theres a little boy inside you.
*These are all old wives tales, none scientifically proven. You always have a 50/50 chance*
There's also Ramzi Theory you could do for fun!
I could be wrong about the genders because I didn't pay too much attention. ;-)
The Chinese chart was right with dd for me.
I heard if you have dry skin it's a boy.
If you crave sweets and fruit it's a girl, dairy, meat and sour things for a boy.
If you put on weight around your hips and thighs it's a girl and if you put on weight around your tummy it's a boy.
The ring on a hair or piece of string trick.
I have no idea. I'm thinking boy but my partner is thinking girl.
There's mostly girls in my family and mostly boys in his family. My family is huge and all my brothers and sisters have girls.
My only cravings are milk and lots of it! I hated milk before and now I just feel like I can't go without it in a day! So I bought my self different milk shake powders and now it's always chocolate or banana milkshake. Funny not strawberry even though that's my favourite.
I have put on weight in my belly only but it feels like Ive bloated ridiculously.
I'm never sick even though I feel quite nauseous at night time. But not that often.
Even though I drink a lot of water my pee is normally really yellow.. :S
Today I woke up feeling frustrated!
So my family think it's a boy apart from my sister.
But all the wives tales are quite nice to hear as it is all pretty exciting
Is that indication of a girl?
But both of mine say boy.
Also another one is if the heart rate is above 140 it's a girl. If it's below its a boy.
Mines at 139..
I actually want to be different in my family and have a boy. Partner realllly wants a boy but knows it will go against us and be a girl. After I saw it on the ultrasound I honestly didn't care what it will be. I just want a healthy baby
Ovulated from left side: girl
Implanted on left side: girl
Ramzi theory (8w2d tvs us): girl
BPM @ 8w2d 139: boy (barely)
Side laying preference: either
Chinese calendar: boy
Asymptomatic candidia on pap: boy
Low calorie intake before/at conception: girl
Whelan timing: girl
Shettles timing: boy
Faster growing leg hair: boy
High nausea/morning sickness: girl
Age + month of conception = odd: girl
What is this ramzi theory? Whelan timing?? Shettles timing????
Aaaahhhhhh soo many!
I had a girl. The Chinese gender chart was right, I carried high, I had morning sickness, and I craved sweets (all apparently mean "girl"). But her heart rate was on the lower end, I didn't have breakouts, and I had sex on the day I ovulated (all apparently mean "boy").
Also, Ramzi and Shettles are a bunch of BS.
The side I ovulated on: it's called mittelschmerz; a tightening and painful release of tension at the time of ovulation on the side you ovulate on. Confirmed by the presence of a cyst during the U/S
Implantation pain can also be felt by some women, normally 6-10 days post-ovulation. It's a very specifically located sharp digging cramp confirmed by spotting shortly after.
Having had a Paraguard IUD, I get lots of practice feeling mittelschmerz since my body is working in the background just as normal.
We all know the wives tales are silly. My mother tells me that all the time. But it doesn't stop me from having fun and enjoying the thrill or laughter of trying them.
We're all excited and curious to know what our little blips are.
That doesn't mean we are against a certain sex. All the women on here have stated time and time again on numerous posts that they just want a healthy baby.
I have a son. I think a girl would be nice next. Would I like another boy though? Hell yes.
But I won't know Until my anatomy scan at 20 weeks, so until then I'm going to enjoy these silly little tests like other mommies to be.
This was not rude or intended to be rude.
Every one has they're own opinion. Let's not fight. The Bump just posted a guidelines update. Let's all be calm and civil.
