When waiting to see what the gender of your baby is going to be, the Chinese conception chart is a fun way to get a guess. This chart has been around for many centuries and is said to have been found in a royal tomb. It is now in the Beijing Institute of Science in China on display.

This chart is fun to use, but is not based on anything technical. Even if it is accurate does not mean that it should be taken seriously. It takes the age of the pregnant woman and the month of conception and decides whether the baby will be a boy or girl. Supposedly to get results that are more accurate it is better to use the lunar months instead of regular months. The months run 29 days in the lunar months.

The age that you are when becoming pregnant is usually a hit or miss with one of the sexes on the chart. Ages on the chart of more likely having a girl on an 18 to 45 range are 21, 22, 30, 31, 32, and 34. The ages more likely of having a boy are 18, 20, 23, 26, 31, and 43. Ages 19, 24, and 33 are close with girls only being more common on a scale of 7 to 5. The same 7 to 5 ratio can be applied to the ages 25, 27, 36, 37, 41, and 44. These ages, however, boys are out numbering girls. Ages 28, 29, 35, 39, 40, 42, and 45, it is a fifty -fifty chance of having a girl or boy.

Based on the conception month the odds on what sex your baby will be change. The months do not have as many one way or the other odds. January, February, May, and October each have 3 to 4 odds of being a boy. April has a to 3 to 4 odds in favor of being a girl. June, August, September, and November are all 15 to 13 in favor of a girl. March and December both have a fifty -fifty chance of your baby being a boy or girl. The only odd month is July where the odds are outstandingly in favor of having a boy at 9 to 19 according to the chart.

When looking at the spread you can notice that boys are more common when you look at the ages, but when looking at the conception month it is fifty-fifty. Of course, there are the many ages and couple of months that are a fifty-fifty chance anyway. It is curious thing to notice when pregnant at what age you are not only the month you conceived but the odds of it being a boy or girl at any month.

When using the Chinese conception chart, it is good to remember that it is all in good fun. It is an entertaining way to get a guess at your baby’s gender. Sometimes the chart proves true, but it is not 100% accurate and in no way scientific. So, use this chart for a bit of entertaining, but not for getting your hopes up about how to design your baby room.
