for fun.. old wives tale

hey all.. TTC'er crashing here..
my neigbhor mentioned this "formula" to me back in july when i was preggers (which ended in a mc )

she said that you can tell if a person is having a boy or girl? i've never heard of this.. she said you add the mother's age at conception with month that she concieved in. if the # is even it's a girl and if it's odd its a boy.
ex. 31 (age) + 7 (july)= 38<-----was actually my scenario.

for DS is was odd.
anyone care to share?

Well I can't really do this for sure because I conceived the weekend of my 30th. It could've been the day before or after. Based on my measurements and due date though I'll go with after which means it should be a Chat Icon but we're having a Chat Icon

Re: for fun.. old wives tale

Was a even number for my first DS, so not correct.

Was an odd number for this baby, and having a boy.
