How a child of a certain gender is formed
The baby stays in the womb for about 42 weeks, going through the stages from fetus to embryo. This period is divided into 3 periods of 3 months (trimesters). In relation to accepted standards in fetal development, intrauterine changes occur in each trimester, making it possible to determine the timing and development of the child.
The entire gestation period is divided into the embryonic stage (embryo) and the fetal stage (fetal).
The dependence of a woman’s birth of sons or daughters is directly dependent on the chromosome set contained in the parental eggs. Male eggs (sperm) have approximately equal numbers of X and Y chromosomes, and only female eggs contain X chromosomes.
Information about the gender of the unborn baby is immediately contained inside the blastocyst (an egg that is already fertilized).
When diagnosing by ultrasound, by the end of the 13th week of gestation, the sex of the fetus is determined:
- From the 5th week, the internal and genital organs of the child begin to form.
- At 6 weeks, the genitals become more defined. But ultrasound is not yet possible.
- The 7th week is characterized by the development of reproductive organs: testicles or ovaries.
- By the end of the 8th week, the future testes begin to produce the hormone testosterone, which is responsible for male sexual characteristics.
- The formation of external sexual characteristics occurs at the beginning of the 10th week.
- To determine the sex of the child, you can undergo an ultrasound examination as early as the 13th week of pregnancy, having previously made an appointment.
What affects the gender of the baby
The sex of the child is greatly influenced by the father's sperm. Male eggs (sperm) carry both X and Y chromosomes. Up to 5 weeks, the embryo remains bisexual with characteristics of both sexes.
Sperm containing Y chromosomes (future boys) often die from the influence of negative factors:
- lack of sex in a man,
- alcohol abuse,
- smoking,
- excessive passion for fatty and fried foods,
- high body temperature.
Sperm containing X chromosomes (future girls) are more resilient. They are not afraid of rare sex or smoking of one of their parents.
Until the 4th week of pregnancy, the embryo can “choose” whether it will be born a boy or a girl if it feels influenced by the mother’s strong experiences, physical activity or illness.
How to find out the gender of a child: basic methods
Many parents are not averse to calculating the gender of the child in advance. someone already has, say, two daughters and really wants to have a successor to the family name. Others have more complicated problems: there are, say, a number of diseases that are transmitted only through the male or exclusively through the female line. Here the baby’s life itself, or at least his health, will be tied to his gender.
Boy or girl, how do you know? This question is often asked by expectant mothers and fathers. What does science say about this? One thing is certain: sex chromosomes are responsible for the birth of a son or daughter.
Women have two identical X chromosomes, while men have an unpaired set: an X and a Y chromosome. It is clear that the pregnancy calendar depends on the combination of these combinations: it is easy to calculate the sex of the child, knowing the initial data of the connecting chromosomes of a man and a woman.
In theory it is clear. But in practice, how can one understand which of the male chromosomes will come into contact with the female one and, accordingly, is it possible to conduct some kind of test for the gender of the child or is everything decided by chance, fate?
There are many different methods, including pseudoscientific ones, and there are so-called folk signs and recommendations, sometimes very funny. For example, the ancient Germans advised how to find out the gender of the unborn child: you just need to set it in accordance with the weather.
In rainy weather, girls are most often conceived, and boys are born after a night of love in clear weather. The ancient Chinese were sure that in order to give birth to an heir, a woman had to be placed in bed with her head facing north on the night of intercourse; accordingly, in a position with her head facing south, the result would be a girl.
But today we will still talk about other planning options, more scientifically based or at least proven practices over centuries. You can calculate whether a boy or a girl is in several basic ways:
- According to the ovulation algorithm;
- According to Japanese and Chinese tables;
- For blood renewal;
- Gender of the child based on the date of birth of the parents;
- According to the prevailing diet;
- According to the lunar calendar, etc.
Methods for determining the sex of a baby
In modern realities, there are 2 practically guaranteed ways to recognize the sex of a child. Ultrasound examination of the fetus is a method that is closer to real results. An experienced specialist will be able to determine the gender of the unborn child with a probability of up to 95%.
Chorionic villus sampling is another win-win method. Unlike ultrasound examination, a biopsy is prescribed only when there is a risk of hereditary diseases and genetic abnormalities. It is recommended to conduct this study at the 7th week of pregnancy.
Amniotic fluid is collected with a thin needle and when examined, the presence or absence of chromosomal abnormalities is revealed. The method gives a 100% result in diagnosing the sex of a child. But it should be borne in mind that this procedure can cause physical harm to the health of the mother and child.
Methods for planning the gender of the unborn child
12.10.2020
The question of whether it is possible to somehow plan the gender of the unborn child has been worrying many families for a long time. Natural factors, of course, play a decisive role here. But this does not prevent future parents from trying to plan for many years or at least guess the gender of the baby before his birth. Among the people, the birth of a boy means that the family will continue, and the appearance of a girl brings affection, joy and warmth to the house. families depended on whether an heir was born in the family . For example, Ivan the Terrible was famous for sending to the monastery those of his wives who bore him girls instead of the expected heir. There is keen interest in the issue of procreation in royal families in our time.
Method of planning the gender of a child - calculating the mother's age
In densely populated China, married couples are limited to having one baby in order to regulate the country's population. It was there that one of the first methods of planning the sex of a child originated. A scheme was developed to take into account the mother’s age at the time of conception of the child, linked to the months of the year. According to this principle, families in which the mother had reached 25 years of age, wishing to give birth to a boy, had to work on conceiving him in the fall and winter. If they wanted a girl, then the best time would be the spring months. However, for a woman who has reached the age of 24, the principle is the opposite. Our people are also not lagging behind in the matter of planning. Based on the mother’s age, it was noticed that the following are more suitable for the birth of girls:
- January, March, May, July, September and November, when mommy reached odd years (19, 21, 23, 25, etc.);
- February, April, June, August, October and December, when the mother turned an even year (18, 20, 22, 24, etc.).
To conceive a boy, the opposite is true.
A way to plan the sex of a child - we eat in a special way
The second method of planning the gender of the unborn child is based on the woman’s special dietary nutrition. The point of this diet is not to limit the diet, but to fill it with special foods to conceive a girl or boy. It is believed that by eating such food you can influence the germ cells. This dietary food will not cause discomfort and memories of all kinds of deprivations. This diet from the beginning of menstruation until the moment of conception. After that, it is no longer effective, and you can return to your usual diet. According to statistics, in 82% of cases this method of planning the gender of the unborn child was successful.
Examples of application of floor planning methods
It is quite possible to use planning methods both individually and in combination. As an example, let us give the story of a young married couple Sergei and Anya. They live in Voronezh; at the time of the decision to have a baby, their marital experience was 3 years. The couple wished to have a girl. The expectant mother studied a variety of planning methods and chose several that were suitable for herself. Such methods that could be used in combination. Based on my age, I calculated the right time to conceive a daughter, after which I began to eat specially. At the same time, due to family circumstances, the rhythm of sexual life of the spouses has changed. Sergei had to work at home, and Anya went to a session in another city.
As a result, the woman successfully became pregnant. Several intermediate ultrasounds showed the male sex of the child, but after 40 weeks Anya gave birth to a girl. The expectant mother did not doubt for a moment that a daughter would be born. The long-awaited planned girl was named Alina. Inspired by the successful outcome of the case, the married couple decided a little later to plan and give birth to a second child – a boy.
Such cases occur quite often in life. That is why methods of planning the gender of an unborn child are considered effective. In this case, you need to approach the issue rationally, without unnecessary zeal. There are many options in the world for influencing the sex of a baby. Some take into account the phases of the moon, and some do not do without the intervention of specialists (in vitro fertilization). Which one to choose is up to you.
Although the very process of conceiving and bearing a child is so amazing that it is worth thinking many times whether your intervention in this natural mystery is necessary.

Calculation of gender based on parents' blood type
A table for conceiving the gender of a child based on the combination of parents’ blood groups is popular with 75% of couples. Based on blood type, parents can calculate the chance of conceiving a boy or a girl even at the stage of pregnancy planning.
Every person is born with a different blood type. There are 4 such groups. When certain blood types are combined, the possibility of having a boy or girl increases.
Blood type | Father | |||
Mother | I | II | III | IV |
I | Girl | Boy | Girl | Boy |
II | Boy | Girl | Boy | Girl |
III | Girl | Boy | Boy | Boy |
IV | Boy | Girl | Boy | Boy |
Folk signs
The most accurate and reliable way to determine the sex of an unborn child is by signs of appearance and well-being. It was on this that our grandmothers relied, which helped them “guess” who would be born – a boy or a girl. When pregnant with a girl, a woman experienced the following symptoms.
- Changes in a woman’s external characteristics, and not always for the better. It’s not for nothing that people say that a girl often “takes away” her mother’s beauty. Indeed, most of the fair sex who are pregnant with girls claim that bearing a child is associated with skin rashes and deterioration of complexion, as well as serious excess weight gain.
- The desire to eat some unhealthy food, for example, sweets or baked goods. Women who are pregnant with a girl constantly want sweets or chocolate. They also often have a desire to drink fruit juice or eat ice cream. They are indifferent to classic dishes like meat.
- Excessive nausea throughout the day. They say that women who carry a female child under their hearts suffer from toxicosis much more severely than their “sisters” who are carrying a boy. Particularly poor health is observed in the morning.
- A pregnant woman's belly has the shape of a circle and seems to spread out to the sides. The chest becomes full, the legs swell, the volume of the hips increases significantly.
If a woman is carrying a boy, she will be accompanied by the following symptoms.
- Appearance remains virtually unchanged. And if any changes occur in it, then only for the better. The skin color becomes even, there are almost no rashes, and a blush appears on the cheeks.
- As for taste obstacles, I crave salty foods and meat. The future mother of her son may be completely indifferent to sweets.
- The manifestation of toxicosis is not severe, so waiting for the boy becomes easier.
- The belly has a sharper shape and “looks” forward. The figure remains almost unchanged. If you look at her from the back, it may even seem that the woman is not pregnant at all.
Thus, it is possible to determine the sex of the unborn child without diagnostics. There are a large number of methods, each of which has its own characteristics.
Calculation of gender based on the Rh factor of the parents
Using the Rh blood factor table, some parents plan the sex of their unborn child. In 65 percent of cases, the method gives positive results.
Blood Rh factor | ||||
Woman | + | — | — | + |
Man | — | + | — | + |
Child | Boy | Boy | Girl | Girl |
Reliability of determining the sex of an unborn child based on the date of birth of the parents
However, you should not rely on the complete reliability of the method I described. Yes, there is quite a lot written on the Internet that the result is true in most cases, however, it is unscientific and has not yet been proven by either doctors or scientists, so you should treat this only as interesting informational material, like fortune telling. Well, you can later compare the result with the truth and evaluate the advantages of the method for yourself.
Also try this calculation and calculators on yourself or your relatives about whom you know reliable information. This will help you understand immediately whether you should trust this method.
Personally, I interviewed several relatives and, based on their example, most of the results from the tables were indeed correct.
Floor calculation using the Budyansky method
The concept of the method is based on a woman's menstrual cycle and the date when her mother became pregnant. If a woman is physically healthy, then her menstrual cycles last 28 to 30 days. A woman can conceive a boy in one menstrual cycle, and can become pregnant with a girl in the next.
All women have their own system for regulating the sex of the child. It is inherited by the expectant mother for life from her maternal ancestors.
A woman can only become pregnant with girls in an even or odd menstrual cycle, and this also happens with the conception of boys.
The menstrual month when the woman herself was conceived is female for subsequent pregnancies of this woman. The month of conception that follows is intended for boys, it is masculine.
The number of days differs the months of the calendar year from the months in the menstrual cycle. The calendar cycle of the year always has 12 months and December is an even month. There are 13 months in the menstrual cycle of the year, so December will be an odd month. Since even months and odd months must alternate with each other, such a calendar must be a 2-year calendar.
This calendar, consisting of 2 years, is also divided into even and odd years. The date of birth, month of conception and the total menstrual year should be indicated by the female calendar.
How to plan and find out the gender of a baby using the Vanga method
Vangelia Pandeva Gushterova was a Bulgarian woman who was credited with the gift of predicting the future. The seer was convinced that everything in our lives has its own meaning. There is evidence that the lives of many people who communicated with Vanga changed greatly in the future. Despite the fact that the seer's method has no scientific confirmation, many parents still use the table to calculate the gender of their future children.

By comparing the mother's age and the month of conception in the appropriate field, you can get the baby's gender even before birth. The table will also show the expected gender even before the baby is conceived.
Gender calculation according to the Chinese calendar
For thousands of years, China has been using its own system for calculating the sex of a child. Both before and after conception, using the table, it is easy to calculate what gender of the baby the expectant mother is carrying. The method is based on calculating the month of conception and the age of the mother at the stage of conception. According to this calendar, the probability of having a boy or a girl depends only on the woman.
The horizontal row of the table contains numbers from 18 to 45 - this is the age of the mother at the time of conception. The vertical row of the table contains numbers from 1 to 12 - these are the months of the Chinese lunar year. The baby’s gender can be seen in the intersection of the squares of the vertical and horizontal rows (M, D).
It should be borne in mind that the Chinese calculate age from the moment of conception, and not from the moment of birth , and the matrix for determining the sex of a baby using the Chinese calendar does not always give the correct result if this feature is not taken into account.
The age count at the time of birth of a baby is already 9 months, and on the first New Year's Day, a baby born during the past year turns 2 years old.

Chinese baby gender chart
In China, such a table was invented in ancient times. Moreover, the Chinese consider it 100% accurate. But according to reviews from mothers who gave birth to babies, this forecast is not always true. Perhaps because in the Celestial Empire it is customary to consider a person’s age from the moment of conception. Therefore, when determining the sex of the baby, add another 9 months to your real age.
It’s easy to use the scheme, for this:
- First , calculate how old you are by Chinese standards, add 7-9 months to your full years;
- Then vertically find the number corresponding to your full age , and horizontally - the month of birth ;
- Draw imaginary lines, their intersection will indicate who you will have: D - girl , M - boy .
Calculation of gender according to the Japanese table
Residents of Japan have designed a universal way to calculate the sex of a baby. They compare the month of birth of the parents with the month of conception and predict the gender of the baby. The Japanese calendar consists of 2 tables. In table 1, the couple indicates their dates of birth in horizontal and vertical lines and looks at the number where they intersect.
Japanese conception chart for baby gender
The second table shows the transcript.
Japanese conception calendar about the possible choice of the sex of the unborn baby
Some parents try to calculate favorable days for conceiving a child of a particular gender. They use various methods to determine the sex of the baby according to birth months, mother's age, month of conception and other various options. There are also versions regarding the future sex of the baby, based on the appearance and nutrition of the mother during pregnancy. It is believed that if a pregnant woman eats a lot of meat, then she should expect a boy, and if she eats sweets, she should expect a girl. By appearance they determine this: if a pregnant woman becomes prettier, then they expect a boy, they become impartial, she looks like a girl. Only this can already be understood in the process of expecting a baby, but parents want to try to choose the sex of the child in advance.
The Japanese method is effective, based on the relationship between the birth months of the mother and father of the unborn baby. You can select the gender of the baby using two tables. In one of them, the birth months of the parents are given; the numbers that appear at the intersection provide data for the second table. It also uses the result of the intersection of the previously drawn number and the month of planned conception.
The only nuance is the moment of choosing the vertical or horizontal month of birth for the father and mother. In some sources, the month of the mother is indicated in the vertical row, and the month of the father in the horizontal row, while in others everything is done the other way around. The exact data is lost, but in the case of the father’s vertical, the method is more workable, giving a noticeable positive result in matching the baby’s gender.

Calculation of gender by date of conception (ovulation)
During the process of rupture of the follicle, the released egg moves into the fallopian tubes. This action lasts approximately 4 hours.
The period of vigor of the egg is a day, maximum two days, and only during this period of time can pregnancy occur. “Male” and “female” eggs have different properties. Male germ cells carrying the X chromosome have a life cycle of no more than 3–4 days, move at low speed, and are larger in volume than their own male counterparts.
Sperm with a Y chromosome are smaller than “sisters”; their lifespan is no more than 2 days. But their superiority lies in speed, since germ cells with the X chromosome are the least mobile.
Ovulation occurs when a mature egg from a follicle is sent into the fallopian tubes to be fertilized by a sperm. Only during the period of vital activity of a mature female reproductive cell can a new life be born.
Women have their own menstrual cycle, lasting an average of 28 days. To become pregnant with a girl, sexual intercourse occurs 3–4 days before ovulation. At this point, all Y chromosomes will disappear. If you plan to have a boy, sexual intercourse must occur one day before, or on the day of ovulation. The speed of the “boy” sperm helps them reach the egg first.
Freiman-Dobrotin method for determining the sex of a child
The Freiman-Dobrotin method for conceiving the sex of a baby is quite complex at first glance (so you should keep a calculator handy), but it is considered one of the clearest. The letter “O” in the tables denotes the father, the letter “M” in the tables denotes the mother.
At first, in table O1, they look at where the lines with the father’s date and the year of the baby’s conception intersect and remember. All this is repeated in all 5 tables. All indicators from the tables are added up. In the 6th table, look at the final coefficient under the amount. Then, in the M2 tables, they also remember the number at the intersection of the mother’s birth lines and the year of the child’s conception.
All actions are repeated in the mother tables, and in the last table they look at the final coefficient. Whichever of the couple has a higher coefficient number will have a child of that gender. It is worth waiting for a girl even in the case when the parental coefficients are equal to the number “0”.
How to calculate the sex of a child 100 percent?
No one has yet been able to independently calculate the sex of a baby with 100% accuracy. There is still an error. Some mothers use the following method (it gives a small error).
- You will need a piece of paper. Write your father's full name, your first name and your maiden name on it.
- Write the month of conception of the baby
- Convert all letters to digital values
- Add the resulting numbers
- Then divide the sum by seven
- If the number is even, you will have a girl, if the number is odd, you will have a boy.
Determining the sex of a child by the age of the parents, date of birth of the mother and father
The conception table for the sex of a child based on the date of birth of the father and mother is based on the method of systematically updating the blood by date of birth. It is believed that male blood is subject to renewal every 4 years. In women, blood renewal occurs every 3 years. The gender of the child will correspond to the partner whose blood was last renewed.
To calculate, it is necessary to divide the woman’s age by 3, and the man’s age by 4. The final number for one of the parents came out whole, which means that his blood was renewed later than his partner’s, you can count on a child of the same sex.
The final number came out with a remainder - the parent whose division remainder is less than .
The final numbers after division are the same for both partners, which means there is a high probability of twins in the family.
Table for father
A table for conceiving the sex of a child, developed by medical scientists, to determine the sex of the heir based on the age of the father, will help to cope with the problem of the predisposition to give birth to only girls or only boys in a family.
To use the scheme, you can refer to the instructions:
- The father's age is selected (vertical).
- The month of conception is located (horizontally).
- Parents should expect the birth of a boy if there is a month in the box, but if there is no month in the box, they should prepare for the birth of a girl.
Girl or boy - who will it be? Calculation table, signs, ultrasound
All future parents, without exception, want to know as early as possible what gender their child will be. Thanks to ultrasound examination (ultrasound), this can be found out no earlier than the second trimester, and errors often occur at such an early stage. All that remains for parents is to rely on scientific and folk methods to find out already 7-8 months before the birth who will be born - a girl or a boy. We will tell you in our article who the mother and father will be, what methods of calculating gender exist and how reliable they are. Here we will present an extensive list of signs that will help you find out the sex of your unborn baby at home.
Determining the sex of a child according to Vanga
An example of how to use such a scheme to determine gender has already been discussed above. It is enough to find out the mother’s age and the date of conception itself (more precisely, the month). And at the intersection of the parameters, find “M” or “D”.
The optimal age for having a child, according to Vanga, is considered to be from 19 years to 35 years. If the mother, for example, is 28 years old, and conception occurred in June, then at the intersection of the cells you can see the expected birth of a girl.
When can you find out your gender?
There are several options for determining the exact gender of the unborn child.
- Before or during conception. This method is suitable if parents decide to plan the gender of the baby by using the simple and simple techniques given earlier.
- After 12 weeks of pregnancy. At this time, the complete formation of the fetal reproductive system is observed, so determining its sex will not be difficult. Of course, the result depends on the qualification level of the doctor and the quality of the equipment used.
- In the last month of pregnancy. It is believed that the belly “like a boy” is more elastic and “erect”. And “to look like a girl” means “saggy” and “heavy.” The method does not provide a 100% guarantee of determination, but our ancestors often used it.
It is most advisable to use ultrasound, although this method sometimes produces errors.
crib
Is it possible to predict the gender of a child with 100% probability?
Unfortunately, there is no 100% guarantee at the moment to tell future parents who they will be able to hold in their arms after birth: a boy or a girl. Even very qualified ultrasound specialists will not be able to accurately determine the sex of the unborn baby.
For a number of inexplicable reasons, while in the womb, a child may not “show” his gender. And when examined by the device before the 18th week, the genitals of boys and girls have a similar structure.
Other methods for finding out the sex of a child
We already know how to determine the sex of a child based on the date of conception and other factors and characteristics. For example, the use of the lunar calendar is gaining popularity. The Moon, going around the Earth, crosses all 12 zodiac signs every month.
Half of them are considered masculine: Aries, Sagittarius, Leo, Libra, Aquarius, Gemini. Accordingly, the remaining six signs are female: Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces, Cancer, Virgo, Taurus. Who will be born a boy or a girl: a table is not required, it is enough to have a lunar calendar and keep track of what sign the Moon was in on the day of conception. If in a male, expect a son, and in a female, logically, a daughter.
Another method is to take into account the blood type and Rh factor of both parents. True, it is impossible to accurately determine the sex of a child by blood; we can only talk about the predisposition of a given couple to give birth to children of one gender or another. After all, both Rh and blood group are constants, that is, unchangeable indicators. However, there are also tables showing the chances of a particular couple having a daughter or son.
A number of researchers claim that it is possible to predict the sex of a baby based on the age of the mother and father. This is partly true, because blood renewal, as we said above, depends on age indicators. We have already looked at how to determine the sex of a child by blood renewal.
Of course, the most reliable diagnostic method is ultrasound. Although, kids sometimes hide their obvious signs of gender, turning around so that even smart equipment will not see them. And a number of parents do not really want to make such calculations and deliberately refuse even an ultrasound.
They want the sacrament of birth to remain so, despite the latest means and ancient signs. Moreover, none of the methods gives a 100% guarantee. It’s better to wait for fate to decide than to count, tune in to one result, and then worry if the forecast does not come true.
That's all for now, dear friends. The main thing is that any newborn should be desired and loved, regardless of his gender. This is where we say goodbye today. Be happy with your children!
