What is the Chinese Gender Calendar?
The Chinese Gender Calendar, also known as the Chinese Baby Gender Chart or Chinese Birth Chart, is an ancient method traditionally used to predict the sex of an unborn baby. According to folklore, this chart originated during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and was kept by the imperial family.
The prediction is based on two factors: the mother's lunar age at the time of conception and the lunar month in which conception occurred. The lunar calendar differs from the Western (Gregorian) calendar, which is why our calculator handles all the conversions for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the Chinese Gender Calendar?
The Chinese Gender Calendar has no scientific basis and is not a reliable predictor of baby gender. Studies show its accuracy is around 50%, which is the same as a random guess. It should be used for entertainment only.
What is lunar age and how is it calculated?
Lunar age is calculated differently than Western age. In the Chinese system, a baby is considered 1 year old at birth, and age increases at each Chinese New Year rather than on the birthday. This means your lunar age is typically 1-2 years older than your Western age.
Can I use this for IVF pregnancies?
Yes, you can use the IVF/embryo transfer date option in our calculator. The transfer date is used as the conception date for the prediction. Remember that this is for entertainment purposes only.
