What’s a Chinese Fertility Calendar?

Consulting a Chinese fertility calendar may be a useful but noninvasive way to learn the gender of your baby before it is born.

This gender prediction method has been used for nearly seven hundred years, with many western cultures embracing its predictive ability as well. The gender of the baby to be is determined by referencing the age of the mother as well as the month of conception. Although many people report the inaccuracy of this method and scientific study is often inconclusive at best, many enthusiasts attest that the results are extremely accurate if the Chinese fertility calendar is used correctly.  In addition to this calendar, many women also use Chinese herbs for fertility.

Perhaps what makes a Chinese fertility calendar unique is that it is based on the phases of the moon as opposed to the more familiar Gregorian calendar.

Although the science behind this method may be questionable, many people believe that the pull of the moon greatly affects any number of events on earth. It is not that far of a stretch, therefore, to assume that fertility issues may be affected by lunar phases as well. A waxing or waning moon may be linked to gender determination just as other external happenings are routinely linked in similar fashion.

The accuracy of the calendar, regardless of the sentiment toward its potential political implications, lead to increased use of this sort of charting in many parts of the world. Whether due to government sanction, or as a matter of personal preference, many people look to have as much control as possible over the sex of their baby, and a fertility calendar may fulfill such desires. Having a baby may be seen as a wonderful thing, but even more so if the sex of the child will make the immediate family feel complete and the extended family happy as well.

While many people are content with finding out whether they are having a boy or a girl at birth, knowing the sex of your child before it is born may be an important and practical piece of information to know as well. In addition to or as an alternative to traditional medical testing, using a relatively simple chart may provide significant reassurance. The accuracy of the Chinese fertility calendar method is widely debated both by medical professionals as well as laypersons, but for all the skeptics who reject such predictions there are as many proponents who stand by such charting wholeheartedly.

If you have already given birth, you may test the Chinese fertility calendar for accuracy based on your previous personal information.

At the very least, a Chinese fertility calendar provides another option for anyone interested in cultural traditions and predicting what is to come.
