For hundreds of years, parents have used the Chinese gender calendar to predict if they are having a boy or a girl. Even if it's not backed by science, at the very least it’s a fun way to guess your baby’s gender!

Give our Chinese gender predictor a try. It guesses baby’s sex by taking the mom's birth date and the estimated date of conception, then converting those into lunar dates. (Don't worry if you don't know about Chinese astrology, as our tool will work it out for you!) Practitioners of Chinese astrology believe these charts are pretty spot on. The practice of using the Chinese lunar calendar to predict a baby’s gender goes back some 700 years.

Our Chinese gender predictor is intended for fun. If you want to know the gender for sure, you may also want to read about more proven ways to find out if your baby is a boy or a girl.
