How correctly to calculate the month of conception in the Chinese calendar?
Calculate the sex of the child according to the Chinese calendar - not as simple as it would seem. The main mistake that many expectant mothers do not take into account is that the conception time in it is based on the lunar cycle. That is why, every year the calendar is undergoing changes. At this beginning of the year is the first day after the Chinese New Year, which in 2014 was celebrated on January 31, and in 2015 - falls on February 19. Moreover, the months never coincide with the generally accepted ones. This is a lunar, not a solar calendar.
The calculation of the month for determining the sex of the child according to the Chinese calendar is done as follows. First you need to set the beginning and end of the calendar year. So in 2014 it began on January 31, ends on February 28, in 2015 - February 19 - March 20. These calculations complicate the fact that the Chinese quite often use the so-called plug-in months.
How to calculate the age of the mother according to the Chinese calendar?
The Chinese method of planning the sex of the child also presumes and takes into account the age of the future mother. This calculation also has its own characteristics.
The fact is that the Chinese calendar considers the age of everyone from the moment of conception, and not from the moment of birth, like the Europeans. Therefore, in order to properly establish their age, a woman should add to her 9 months.
For example, a woman who plans a pregnancy was born on September 15, 1991, which means that if she became pregnant in May 2014, she was 22 years and 8 months old (full 22). In order to learn the gender of the child on the Chinese calendar, add 9 months and get 23 years and 5 months (full 23). Such a difference in the calculation can give quite opposite results. It is because many women do not take into account this nuance, the Chinese calendar gives them the wrong forecasts.
How to use the Chinese calendar correctly?
To determine the sex of the child according to the Chinese calendar of pregnancy, special tables are used. Before you start calculating, a woman should carefully examine the table, and then calculate her age, taking into account the features described above. The obtained age must be found in the column that is located on the left side of the table. Then in the line that corresponds to the age, we choose the months in which the conception of the baby is most likely. In order to reduce the percentage of error, a woman should avoid the beginning or end of the month, because at this time there is a change of periods. It is best to move the "event" to the middle, which will reduce the possibility of error.
Thus, the calculation of sex according to the Chinese calendar is a fairly common method used by most mothers. In order to properly calculate the floor in this way, it is necessary to take into account the many factors that are described above. Otherwise, the result will be the opposite. It must be remembered that none of these methods can guarantee 100% coincidence. Therefore, many women prefer to wait a little while when on ultrasound it will be possible to determine who is in the stomach: a boy or a girl, or maybe twins?
