Chinese pregnancy calendar is said to possess the capability of predicting the gender of an unborn baby and its prediction is believed to be quite accurate.

It is believed that it was discovered from an ancient tomb approximately 700 years ago. It was kept by castrated servants in the place and revealed only to the noble household members during the period 1644-1911 AD, the time of Qing Dynasty.

China was in chaos by the time period of Qing Dynasty. The capital was siege and conquered by the coalition forces of nations. As a result many valuable items including Chinese pregnancy calendar were taken away. Apparently, it fell into the hands of English nobles. English nobles translated and used it. After that no one knew about the whereabouts of Chinese pregnancy calendar… until it showed up again later.

This Chinese pregnancy calendar whose origin is not known is based on the Yin Yang, Five elements and the Bagua or Eight Trigram and its prediction is believed to be quite accurate. 

Your age based on the Chinese Lunar Calendar and the month of conception is required for the purpose of predicting the gender of the baby.

According to the Chinese lunar calendar, your age will be your current age plus one year if you were born before the calendar. The reason for counting one extra year by the Chinese lunar calendar is that it takes the 9 months into consideration that you spent in your mother’s womb.

The lunar month is very hard to figure out. There are numerous free of cost resources online; just search for them and you will find some good calendar converters. Use them to know the lunar equivalent month of your date of conception.
