I don't even try with this stuff. It doesn't mean anything so I would rather either randomly guess or just wait. I am sure there are about as many people who had a accurate guess woth this method as there are who did not have am accurate guess. After all, there aren't that many possibilities.
Never looked into it. The only correlation I did notice with DD was the heartbeat speed method. She had a higher HB which is supposedly linked to females. But then again, it's just another guess. The US tech I saw told me about twin boys with one lower HB and one higher HB so she didn't really notice a true correlation.

You've got a 50/50 shot so you could also just flip a coin and that will be right half the time...
Personally I don't plan on guessing or using methods because if I did and managed to convince myself I was having one gender and then it turned out to be the other I don't want to feel a false disappointment. I'm excited to find out but would rather just wait until I see it and then get excited for whatever I'm having.

You're absolutely right! 50/50 either way! I won't be disappointed either way, I just think it's fun to see what the old wives tales say along with the methods! It's purely for entertainment! I'm perfectly content with either sex!
I have two boys already. One had higher end heartbeat, one lower end. I had totally different symptoms (HG severely with first, not second), I carried totally differently. And, alas, they both came out boys. the Chinese gender chart was accurate for both. But again, 50/50 chance so it isn't anything more than coincidence.
@joyful08 what's the GIF for? Clearly I have said "just for fun" and "purely for entertainment" in this thread a few times now, are we only allowed to post scientific facts? I'm on my 5th child and 11th pregnancy, I'm fully aware of the fact that this is a 50/50 shot here. Just lookin to have a little fun instead of constantly worrying about if this will be my bring home rainbow baby!

Maybe I like to post gifs "just for fun". I find these old wives tales and "methods" more irritating that anything. The Bump doesn't really do these lets guess for fun games because we are more science based and, as you said yourself, in the end there's a 50/50 shot and these methods are bogus. I was just having fun posting a gif. No need to get your panties in a wad.

I LOVE reading you didn't have severe HG the second time!
I have no clue what the Ramzi method is...but with my first I did look up a chart of old wives tales to see where I landed the day before our anatomy scan. It was a mix, with I think one more old wives tale indicating girl than boy, and we ended up having a girl. We used it to "announce" the sex to our family. And by announce, we texted our parents.

I liked your post ! I'm in the same boat and sometimes it's fun to think about other things instead of worrying constantly. I love thinking about old wives tales about gender prediction! @Jlk2016
Not Ramzi related, but we did one of those Chinese astrology calculators, the results came back as a 50/50 coin toss lol. To put it in 90s terminology....Duh.
We're Team Green anyways, the coin toss of old wives tales just solidifies that further
I knew with both my kids and my friends/family thought I was crazy and setting myself up to be disappointed. This time I'm truly not sure, there are days I feel it's a girl and days it reminds me of my son. I craved five layer burritos with my son and couldn't eat them after he was born, my husband keeps asking if I'm craving them again... I bet you can guess what he wants this one to be.
We have two sleeping beauties in heaven. Jack gained his wings on 09/02/2016. Kali gained her wings on 07/28/2015. They will be forever missed.
