Take your wedding ring and hang it from a string over your belly. If the ring swings back and forth your baby is a girl. If it swings around in a circle then it is a boy.
The Carrying Method
This Old Wives' tale gender prediction method actually makes a little bit of common sense. The sex of your unborn child is determined by the way the pregnant woman is carrying the child. If the child is being carried high in the woman's womb then it is certain to be a girl. However, if it seems like it's being carried low then the assumption that it is a boy.
The Drano Test
A strange gender prediction method that sounds crazy enough not to be true involves the use of Drano and your urine. Drano crystals should be bought and placed into a glass jar. Your first morning urine should be used and it should be poured directly onto the urine into the glass jar. However, you better stay back in case a harmful smell or unusual reaction occurs between the two. After about 15 seconds the Drano should change colors. If it happens to turn a brownish color then you are about to give birth to a baby boy. If the Drano doesn't change colors, then you're having a girl.
Drinking cough medicine before you ovulate will make you more fertile.
The theory being that the expectorant ingredient in some cough medicines that thins the mucus lining of your lungs, will also thin your cervical mucus making it easier for sperm to penetrate through your cervix and fertilize an egg. It has not been proven that thinner mucus actually makes you more fertile.
You’ll conceive more quickly if you have intercourse during the day with the lights on.
While male sperm count is generally higher in the mornings, there’s no clinical evidence that having the lights on or daylight has any bearing other than maybe raising the excitement level!
Having sex everyday increases your chances of getting pregnant.
You can have sex all day everyday, but unless you’re ovulating you won’t get pregnant. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, a major study found no difference in pregnancy rates between couples who had sex daily and those who had sex every other day.
Keep him cool.
While it’s true that sperm counts rise in cooler temperatures, it takes at least two months for cooler temperatures to positively affect the sperm so rapid cooling, as with an ice pack, will hardly help. However, staying out of the hot tub and sauna, avoiding long, hot baths and wearing boxers instead of briefs may help.
Having sex early in your fertile period will result in having a boy, later will result in a girl.
The “reasoning” behind this myth is that sperm with Y chromosomes (male) swim faster than sperm with the X chromosomes (female), and are able to reach the egg earlier in its journey to the uterus (i.e.: right after ovulation). Although it sounds believable, a New England Journal of Medicine study found nothing conclusive to this theory.
Riding a bike will lower a man’s sperm count.
Maybe if he rides professionally, hundreds of miles a day, the heat and pressure may have some affect but it has never been clinically proven.
