another gender prediction question - fortune baby?

Has anyone used fortune baby? They charge you, but claim it's 100% accurate. I'm being stupid now because my level 2 is in less than 2 weeks, and we're still on the fence about finding out the gender. For some reason, i keep doing this crazy predictors, as if I'm in denial that I want to find out, knowing that they are most likely not accurate. The one on fortune baby is $19.95 and I went through the motions, but when I got to the credit card part, I logged out. So this morning i get an e-mail saying they will give me an additional 35% off with a code. Talk about desperate LOL. They take your birthday, DH's birthday and either your conception date, due date or LMP. Supposively it's some "formula" they use.

Just curious if anyone did this, i know there's a recent thread on the chinese predictors and it seems about 50-50 as far as who they were accurate for - which I guess one would guess as it's a 50-50 chance regardless Chat Icon

Re: another gender prediction question - fortune baby?

It's absolutely impossible to be 100% accurate based on just those questions... Some men do not produce any Y chromosome seeds. It doesn't matter when you conceive, or what phase the moon is, etc. If the father can not make sons, he can't make sons.... there's nothing anyone can do about it. Those "predictors" never take that into account. Therefore, it is physically impossible to be 100%.

How do they handle fraternal twins where there is a boy AND a girl? Do they count the one they got right?... I would count the one they got wrong as breaking their "100%"...

Thanks for replying and reminding me how silly the idea is :) I always wondered how it handled twins as well??
