Question about determining the gender

LonelyMoondancer · 07-07-2009, 01:43 AM

Hello all, I'm just really curious about this. How does one determine the gender of their baby aside from ultrasounds? What are all the surefire ways? I know a couple who says they are having a girl. They didn't say much, they said they read the pattern correctly and found that they're having a girl. What kind of method requires you to read a pattern? Ultrasounds didn't work out for them, the baby kept covering its genital area. I just want to know if they actually used a legitimate way of determining the gender or some kind of wives tale, it would suck if they were wrong. But they sound very sure of it. What could they possibly have done to find out?

Amniocentesis or other DNA analysis test is 100% But there are risks of course...

and getting a doc to do those just for that reason could be a problem...

Crystal Draino...here you go...works every time...

ITEMS YOU WILL NEED:
- Approximately 2 tablespoons of CRYSTAL Drano
- Medium glass or glass jar (preferably one you don't intend to use again)

STEP 1
You will need a urine sample of about two to three ounces. How this urine sample is procurred is up to the participants. Have fun with it, be creative, we don't care, just don't injure anybody.
The urine sample must be fresh - preferably the first of the morning.

STEP 2
Take the test materials outside. With the Drano in the glass or jar, carefully pour the urine sample on top of the Drano. You will want to have about equal amounts of urine and Drano.

STEP 3
Observe. If the really nasty-smelling concoction you now posess darkens to a brownish color within the first 10 seconds, IT'S A BOY!

If it just sits there for more than 10-15 seconds, IT'S A GIRL. In either case, IT'S GOING TO SMELL REALLY BAD, AND YOU'LL WANT TO HOSE IT DOWN FAIRLY QUICKLY

There is no way. Having said that, within days of finding out I was newly pregnant, I just knew it was a boy. I was right but of course the odds are basically 50/50 so who knows if I was just lucky.

The best way would be to reschedule the ultrasound at a later date to confirm the gender. Even that is not 100% though.

I was 100% sure I was having a boy, Even at the ultra sound I told them they were wrong when they told me Sophie was a girl. And I was still shocked when they handed her to me saying she was a girl. I had to unwrap her to check
This time I didn't have a clue, and it was a boy

Regardless of what Snopes says, I've used the process and have had friends use it with a 90% rate of accuracy...

Sorry Snopes...and Retired...proof is in the proverbial pudding.

AS mentioned above, Amniocentesis is the only 100% way to find out, even ultrasound is not 100%. But do your homework since there are risks to an amnio and it is not recommended for the sole purpose of determining gender.
