I'm currently 10+6 weeks, I have a feeling I'm getting a boy though, most of my family has boys, out of 9 nieces and nephews 3 are girls and with my two boys it's 8 boys 4 girls. I'm hoping but I'm prepared to hear "Its a boy!" Lol how far along are you Courtney?

I did it....said boy, boy, girl. I have two boys and am pregnant with....a boy. :-) the Chinese calendar said girl too. But the ultrasound clearly had shown boy at 17 and 21 weeks.

I've done it and so far is right on it says boy girl girl And I have all three kids in that order too. This pregnancy says boy girl then it swings diagonal which is suppose to be twins. Idk we will see on the last one as I've had some spotting now and  in week 9 hopefully my apt tomorrow will be helpful.

Yes I have but I've done it on a necklace.. Pretty much the same thing.. It said I'm supposed to have a girl, boy, girl.. So far right with the 1st girl. My mom also did it and it came out right.
