Figuring Out Baby’s Gender With A Chinese Gender Chart

Gender prediction has taken many forms over the centuries (and probably longer) and I’m not immune to the fun of trying to guess what I’m having before the doctor tells me. I used a Chinese Gender chart before my 20 week sonogram with little man, and it correctly predicted I was having a boy, so I figured it’s worth a try again.

How To Use A Chinese Gender Chart To Predict Baby’s Gender

  • Find your lunar age It’s not the same as your regular age, and the Chinese Gender Prediction Chart is set up based on lunar age…use this lunar age calculator
  • Figure out the month of conception This isn’t the month the fertilized egg implanted, but rather the month that the egg became fertilized (apparently there is a delicate difference, and it can be tricky to figure out if it’s near the beginning or end of a month, because the difference can be as little as a few days).
  • Find the point on the Chinese Gender Chart below where your lunar age and month of conception intersect This will tell you if you are having a boy or a girl.

    How accurate is gender prediction with the Chinese Gender Chart? According to the Chinese, about 90%, which is pretty good, and while you are waiting to find out your baby’s sex it’s just fun to try out all these methods to guess. According to the Chinese Gender chart, my Chinese age, and all that jazz, this baby is a girl. I guess we’ll find out in six months if it’s right again.




    • We did this with both kids and it was right with Gav, wrong with Zoe.

    • Kathleen

      That is so neat. I had heard of it briefly, but have never seen one or heard how to do it. Maybe I will have to try this for the surrogacy.

      This seems fun to try. If it worked once, maybe it will again!

      I never heard of this one.

    • Terry (My Journey With Candida)

      How cool is that?? When I was pregnantf a lady tied a string to a pencil and circled it over my stomach. I don’t remember if she was correct or not. Toooooo Many Years Ago!

    • Megan

      This is right 50% of the time, lol! In my experience, wrong both times.

    • You actually have the strength to wait until the baby’s born to find out? I’m impressed! I wonder if the prediction will be accurate.

    • Virginia from That Bald Chick

      I didn’t do any of the gender prediction tests with Mister. Since I had to have so many ultrasounds, we found out pretty quickly.

    • I’m done having babies…knock on wood, but that is really cool.

    • Dee @ Cocktails with Mom

      That is quite interesting. I’ve never heard of this before.

    • Heather

      I couldn’t even attempt this with Emma because I wasn’t sure if she was conceived at the end of March or beginning of April.

      So you’re not going to find out before the big day?

    • Courtney

      interesting!

    • Sara

      I’ll have to come find this again when I get pregnant!!!

    • Marianna

      I remember checking this with all 3 of my pregnancies. For my first and second (twins) it said boy and was correct. For my 3rd pregnancy it said girl so between that and justa gut feeling I truly thought I was having a girl. Turns out my gut doesn’t know squat. It was still fun to check and 66% correct for me. 😉

    • Shop with Me Mama (Kim)

      It was right with both my kids!!! Love that chart 🙂

    • Nolie

      WRONG! Says Girl but 3D ultrasound shows boy clear as day.

    • Jessica

      It was right both times for me. First a girl and then a boy
