Predicting your baby's gender?

Okay so I'm wondering if any of these predictions about your baby's sex actually works.
I'm only 14 weeks, it'll be a few more weeks till I can find out the sex, so I thought I'd be experimental and do this before I find out to see what works and what doesn't.

I looked on the Chinese Birth Calendar and it said I was having a girl.
I did the whole thread & needle over the top of your hand [[tells how many kids you're gunna have, and what they're gunna be in order]] to both me and my fiancee and we both showed we were gunna have a girl first.
I did the whole string and wedding or engagement ring over the belly.... predicted girl also.
I took this poem-like thing by an old wives tale thing, and it predicted I had a higher chance of having a girl.
Ever since I got pregnant, I've always been dreaming that either I was pregnant, or someone I knew was pregnant, and only twice has that baby been a boy... every time since then it's been a girl.

But then the old wive's tales say that if you got that dark line on the center of your tummy, if it only goes to your belly button, it's gunna be a girl, but if it goes all the way to your chest, it's gunna be a boy.
And also a fuzzy tummy represents male because men are ofcoarse, hairy. lol.
And I have a fuzzy tummy, it's been like this for a few weeks now... where before I never has anything but just peach fuzz on my belly.

So what I'd like to know is if any of you ladies out there did any of these things, or dreamt what they're baby's gender was gunna be, and it actually be as what you predicted.

I feel totally feminine inside, and I really think it's gunna be a girl.

Any thoughts people?

I'm 14 weeks and I know what I'm having, I'm having a girl :). But I had a lot of dreams I was having a girl as well.. only thing is.. I have fuzzy tummy O.o, But I found out this week that my baby is a girl. I never looked on the chinese calendar things or anything like that so I'm not sure what mine would say... But I'm carrying her higher than I did my son. I heard that you could tell by heart rates, but I was curious and asked my doctor and she said she heard that also and didn't think it was right.. but it's always been right for me lol. Both this pregnancy and my daughter that is now 2, their heart rates remained in the 160s.. my sons was always lower in the 130s.. So it's really just a guessing game until the u/s confirms it, you can go either way lol.

Half of the old wives tales said boy and the other half girl for me. The chinese calender said boy. I dreamed of a girl. I carried like I was having a boy (even had strangers say that my tummy was a boy). My tummy was furry.  I ended up having a girl.

I hear that if its a boy the tummy will be up because boys tend to stick to your backbone and if its a girl the tummy is lower

PS- the baby's testosterone causes the extra hair

The only thing that worked for me prediction wise was the hair on the belly. All of the online stuff was pretty much 50/50. The chinese calendar was wrong. But I got what I wanted - a baby boy!
