The Chinese conception chart, also known as the Chinese pregnancy calendar and the Chinese conception calendar, is supposed to predict whether you will have a girl or boy. The story goes that the original Chinese pregnancy chart was buried in a royal tomb nearly one thousand years ago and you can now see it at the Beijing Institute of Science.
It's really easy to use, just find the line on the pregnancy calendar that equates to your age and move along until you reach the month in which you conceived. If the square is pink you'll have a girl and if it's blue, a boy. If you're 21, according to the birth chart there's apparently not much chance of a boy but of course it's just a bit of fun, or is it?
My wife and I are currently expecting our first child, it's due in October of this year so I'll let you know if the Chinese pregnancy calendar works for us. She was 28 and we conceived in January so it should be a boy!
Update
Well, well, well. My son was born on the 10th of October last year and he was indeed a boy! So it worked for me, see if it works for you and I'd love to know if it works.
