Mayan method

Compares the mother’s age at conception with the month of conception.

How it works

Take the mother’s age at conception and the number of the conception month (January is 1, December is 12). If both are odd or both are even, the prediction is a girl. If one is odd and one is even, it is a boy.

Good to know

This uses ordinary age, not lunar age. Some sites apply the rule to the year of conception instead of the month, but the month version is the one most sites use. It is often credited to the ancient Maya, but the origin is not verified.
