Red cabbage gender test :)

[kirsty1989]

Hiya, so I was looking on youtube and saw these red cabbage gender tests, I've never heard of them until now. How many of you ladies have tried it? I looks like a fun thing to try and is cheaper than going getting the intelligender. What do you think? I've watched a few that are right and wrong. I know it's just for fun.

I'm on another pregnancy forum and they posted this, most of them were correct!

What do you do? Pee on cabbage? LOL! I'm asking out of total seriousness but I can't help but giggle. I know before sonograms and gender tests women came up with all sorts of ways to predict what their baby would be.

I just looked it up and it says you get the red cabbage and cut it up really good and boil it then you mix your urine with the juice from the cabbage (gotta add equal amounts of both) if it turns red/pink its a boy or purple is girl!!!

sound very interesting im going 2 try this tomorrow and see if i get the same result as the intelligender which was girl :)

I was going to go buy an intelligender yesterday but since I'm still on progesterone supplements I'm going to have to wait. To you guys know how long I should wait after I'm done? I've got 2 1/2 more weeks of them.

I am going to do this test.. When can you do it.. is it 10 weeks?  

[kirsty1989]

Yea what hopeing4number4 said. Cut it into small pieces boil it for 10 minutes take the water from the boiled cabbage and and an equal amount to your urine (I think fmu is used) if it stays purple its a girl it if goes pink/red its a boy. I'm not sure when you can try this from some of the ladies on youtube tried it from like 6-7 weeks. I really want to try it. It adds that little bit of excitement to the long weeks waiting for ur gender scan lol

[kirsty1989]

I'm looking forward to knowing if your results are the same as the intelligender. :)

[hopingfornumber4]

I actually just got home with red cabbage :) i was goin 2 try it now but i didnt really know if fmu has 2 be used?? but i will definitely let you know i hope it says girl also as that is what we are hoping for and having 2 test say girl would make it pretty accurate i would think :)

[hopingfornumber4]

BUMP=anyone try this

[JoyRenee]

I'm giving away an Intelligender! It starts April 1st so don't go buy one just yet ladies. You may win one!

[hopingfornumber4]

so I took the red cabbage test this morning and im a little lost on what color it is i posted pics plz go look and let me know what you think :)

p.s I think its red which would be BOY!!!

[hopingfornumber4]

i also posted an example of a boy result and the girl indeed had a boy :)

[Beccabb]

I can't tell but id day it's got a tint of red lol x

[hopingfornumber4]

Yea thats what my hubby says it has a tint of red but looks purple so im like so is it red or purple....lol...girl? boy?? or both :)

[kirsty1989]

I would go with red on that 1 I think, we'll have to wait and see now :)

[Mandleine]

Lol I think it looks purple, but maybe I'd have to see an example of "true" purple. It looks like it could be either one haha

[kirsty1989]

I have my 12 week scan on tuesday so if I can get hold of some red cabbage (because appently it's out of season) then I'm going to do it that night. I will keep you ladies updated on my result. Hubby's excited to see whats happens too! He's thinking/hoping boy, I feel girl so we'll see :D

[mamaof4410]

LOL it looks red to me as well! Hope you get the result you want with the sono!

[PetiteWonder]

Im heading out to get some red cabbage... Ill do it tonight... Im only 10 weeks today but I figure what the hell...

[PetiteWonder]

I did the test for fun..  I got the girl colour.   My chinese gender prediction chart also put me as having a girl....

I am going to do it again shortly when i have to pee again to check again..  When I holdit up to thelight, there is a reddish hue but if i put it against white and compare it to the pictures it definitely is purple.. and its definitely less blueish than the control one.

[PetiteWonder]

Alright guys i liedd.. I checked again and did the test again... and both mine actually look like the boy colour...  I moved a smaller sample of my original test to a smaller container to compare better and it definitely is not as purple as it looks in the big glass.

The sample on the left is the first one and the one on the right is the second one...   The first one was with first morning urine from this morning and the 2nd one with urine taken moments ago.

Thoughts?

[kirsty1989]

Hmm.. Yep it does look a pinkish red. I was just on the chinese gender prediction thing it says I will have boy but for my friend it said she would have a girl and she's going in to have her little BOY tomorrow lol It's all confusing fun lol

[PetiteWonder]

The sad thing is these gender prediction things are all just for fun lol.  They are right for some and wrong for others because in every case it has a 50/50 chance to be correct.  lol

[PetiteWonder]

On the bright side though, this thread has saved me $34.. ill do the intelligender if i win it lol
