In this the year of the water dragon, I have become increasingly more fascinated with the older more esoteric branches of Chinese Medicine- especially dealing with cosmology and astrology.  The system of theory called stems and branches is one of the oldest remaining and functioning systems of medicine on the planet.  A portion of my graduate thesis was written on this subject and its application to the menstrual cycle and fertility.  I will post some of these writings in the future.

A patient of mine recently asked me what I thought of the below chart.  This gender predictor makes its way around most every baby blog/website out there along with comments from people about its effectiveness.  So, I have been conducting a bit of a private study the last year comparing the conception dates and maternal age of  my patients and the chart.  What I have found is that around 60-65% of the time the chart is correct.  I’ll post more on this subject in a few months, when a full year has concluded since I have been calculating statistics.  In the meantime, what is your experience, if any with the chart?  I should mention, it was correct in the determination of the gender of my baby!
