experiment, debunking a myth maybe!

Hi gals just wanted to check something and maybe debunk a myth. If you remember please add your age at the time you found out you were preggo and the month of conception. According to the myth, if it was an even number it's a girl, and odd a boy. I have tried it with mine they are right on the money. Wanna hear yours!!

-however, according to the chinese calendar I was supposed to have a girl.  And the chinese calendar goes by your age and month you conceived.

For my first son, I got an odd number.
With this pregnancy, I also got an odd number. I won't find out the sex for another 4-6 weeks. According to the Chinese lunar calandar, it's supposed to be a girl, and accoding to a few old wives' tales, those also predicted a girl while I was in my first trimester. However, some of those old wives' tales are predicting boy in my second trimester.
I'll be happy either way, but I can't wait to find out!

With my first I was 15 and conceived in April (so odd #'s) and she is a GIRL!! With my second I was 25 and conceived in May (so even #'s) and he's a BOY!! LOL! Guess I'm backwards!! This one I was 27 and conceived in June... (so odd #'s again)... only 10 weeks and not sure we want to find out yet...
Unless... My LMP was the month before conception with both Pg's... I started in late March with the first (conceived in Apr) and in late Apr with my second (conceived in May) so if you go by LMP date instead of conception date... then I'm dead on with both too!!
