The Chinese Gender Predictor is a method of gender prediction of an unborn child based upon a chart which was reportedly placed in a royal tomb outside of Beijing about seven hundred years ago. It is said to have been compiled by a scientist skilled in lunar cycles, which are strongly linked to these gender predictions. It is one of the most well-known and popular methods of predicting whether you are carrying a boy or girl. Theoretically, this chart also allows you to choose the gender of your baby by timing the conception.

The Chinese Gender Predictor works by looking up the woman's age when she conceives along the side of the chart, then following the line along to find the months of the year; this will tell you what gender of baby the woman is likely to conceive if she becomes pregnant at that particular age - in any given month in that year. The Chinese Gender Predictor is a simple tool which has been used successfully for hundreds of years. It has now also made the transition to the 21st Century as this gender prediction tool is available on many websites as well as in books.

These online Chinese gender Predictors are free, but have a look around at different websites to get the best one, because some will calculate for your both the mother's age in lunar years, and also the specific lunar month in which the baby was conceived, again in Chinese lunar months. That should enable you to get the most accurate prediction of the gender of an unborn baby.

As mentioned above, the Chinese Gender Predictor is simple to use, but it has to be used properly - which most people don't do. The Chinese Gender Predictor is based on the Chinese lunar calendar, not the traditional Western Gregorian calendar. You may be aware of these differences because you may have celebrated Chinese New Year somehow, which is a movable feast (if you'll pardon the pun) according to the Western Gregorian calendar.

The Chinese lunar calendar works upon the cycles of the moon. The lunar year consists of twelve months of twenty-nine and thirty days alternately, which makes up a lunar year of three-hundred and fifty-four days, which is approximately equal to twelve full lunar cycles.The months are therefore quite different, so you need to find out the month of conception according to the Chinese lunar in order to use this gender prediction tool accurately.

The chart has one more drawback in that it only charts woman from the age of eighteen to the age of forty-five. These are the main years of conception, but it is possible your baby's conception falls outside these ages for you - and then you won't be able to use the Chinese Gender Predictor at all.

So, the Chinese Gender Predictor can be a useful tool, but it should not be seen as one hundred per cent accurate. It can however, be a fun thing to do. If you really are bothered about the gender of an unborn baby to the extent of only wanting one particular gender, perhaps you need to think more carefully about whether you are ready for the responsibility of having a baby. Mistakes can always be made with the Chinese Gender Predictor.
