How the chart chooses a cell

The mother's birth date sets the age row, while the conception date selects the month column. The Chinese gender predictor crosses them and highlights Girl or Boy in the Chinese gender chart, which covers ages 18 to 45.

This row is not completed calendar age. The tool adds two to the gap between conception year and birth year for January or February births, and one for other months. It is a popular shortcut, not an exact conversion of the moving Chinese New Year.

Where the prediction stops

A study of about 2.8 million births found the Chinese gender calendar no better than a coin toss. A baby gender predictor built on this grid remains a 50:50 guess. “Boy or girl predictor” and “Chinese birth chart gender” are search labels for the same folklore, not separate scientific methods.

Fetal sex may be visible during the 18 to 21 week screening scan, although position can prevent an answer. A baby gender calculator cannot replace advice from the clinician overseeing the pregnancy.

This tool is for entertainment only; the traditional Chinese chart has no scientific basis. Ask the clinician overseeing the pregnancy for medical information, and remember that ultrasound cannot always provide a certain answer.

A study of about 2.8 million births found that the method performed no better than a coin toss. Its roughly 50 percent result is for entertainment; fetal position can also prevent ultrasound from giving a certain answer.

This tool uses a common shortcut: it adds 2 to the gap between conception year and birth year for January or February births, and 1 for other months. It does not convert the changing date of Chinese New Year exactly.

Pregnancy Calculator

After the gender guess, track the pregnancy itself: find your due date, current week and trimester from your last period, then follow week-by-week baby development month by month.

Calculate Pregnancy

Ovulation Calculator

The prediction hinges on the conception month, so it helps to pin down ovulation first: work out your fertile window and most likely ovulation day from cycle length and last period date.

Wonder Weeks Calculator

Once your baby arrives, plan for the leaps ahead: follow the Wonder Weeks mental leaps from the due date and see when fussy, wakeful developmental phases will land in the coming months.

Age Calculator

The chart uses its own simplified age row, not completed calendar age. For everyday age, calculate years, months and days from a birth date, total days lived, and the countdown to the next birthday.

Calculate Age

Period Calculator

The predictor needs your conception month, which often traces back to your last cycle: forecast your next period, fertile days and full menstrual cycle from recent period start dates.

Calculate Period

Rising Sign Calculator

Once the baby is born and the exact time and place are known, calculate the rising sign alongside the Sun sign. This avoids treating an estimated due date as a definite birth chart result.
