Here's mine:
chinese gender prediction: If you go by the one on thebump, it showed Girl. But if you use a "real" one where they take into account the actual Chinese calendar? Boy.
Bad breakouts/acne: Is this one bad breakouts=girl? If so, BOY. My skin never looked so good.
Craving sweets, never salt: No clear winner here.
High baseline heartbeat consistently: What's considered high?
Carrying low: Girl
Even & odd: I don't know what this one is.
bad morning sickness: Boy
Had a girl!
@candicemcc: heartbeats consistently in the 150-160s is high, and is usually indicative of a girl. My midwife was really surprised after the gender scan that my boy has such a high baseline heartbeat.
Even and Odd: if your age and the year are both even or both odd numbers, it's a girl. If one is even and one is odd, it's a boy
and yes, bad breakouts are usually girl :)
well our baby is not here yet so i don't know if the wives tales are right or wrong... but there are a couple that have been making me think it's a girl!
I have horrible break outs (and i NEVER had acne before)
the heartbeat is relatively high. at 12 weeks it was 144, and I read that "normal" for 12 weeks is 120-150.
I don't want sweets at all...only salty and cheesey stuff. According to that, this would be a boy!
I am just SO excited to find out...
I'll just do mine for DD, since we won't find out 32's sex until April:
Chinese Gender Prediction: Boy
Breakouts/acne: Boy
Craving sweets, not salts: indecisive, I wanted both!
High heartbeat: Girl
Carrying Low: Boy
Even/Odd: Boy
Morning Sickness: Girl
And I had a GIRL!
Oooh. I wanna play! I'll get back to you all this afternoon once I have a gender.
Here are some of my predictors so far:
Morning sickness: Girl
Even/odd: Boy
High heartbeat: Girl
Only craving salty and sour foods: Boy (seriously, all of a sudden I don't even like orange juice anymore, but I can drink gallons of grapefruit juice. Weird, huh?)
Mama's intuition: Boy, but I'm not very confident on that one anymore...
Will keep you all posted!
mine were so off...
chinese gender prediction: depends on which one you look at. There are like 7 different versions. Most of them were boy
no change in skin: boy
no change in hair: girl
I didnt "lose my beauty" or get fat face: boy
cravings at all: uh...not sure. Didnt have any
High fetal heart rate: girl
Carrying low and small: boy
zero morning sickness: boy
even/odd: boy (never heard this one before now!)
needle/e-ring on a string trick: girl
My intuition from week 6 on: girl
I had a girl lol
chinese gender prediction said boy
carrying low said girl
weight in the face said girl
heartrate - high 160s - said girl
no morning sickness said boy
I'm having a BOY :)
Most of mine were true! We're having a girl!
I'm carrying high.
Her HB was always above 140.
The chinese gender calendar said girl.
I was craving sweets.
I had terrible skin.
DH is gaining sympathy weight.
The wedding ring test went in a circle.
Both my age and the year are odd.
Intuition said girl.
The one's that weren't true:
I had no morning sicknes.
Some were true, some weren't.
The first myth I heard was that no morning sickness= boy. I had very minimal morning sickness but had a girl.
The second was high heart rate= girl. This was true for me (although my doctor warned me at the time that meant nothing)
The third was gaining weight in just the belly= boy. That was sort of true for me. I didn't gain any weight in the face or arms, but I gained 35 pounds total and it distributed almost equally to my boobs, belly, butt, and thighs. I looked almost as if I had just gained 35 pounds without being pregnant. In some outfits I was 8 months pregnant and you couldn't even tell. The nice thing about that was my belly shrank down immediately since it didn't stretch that far. The bad thing is I still have thicker thighs than pre pregnancy.
I did crave sweets (girl), had no change in skin (boy) and I tried the chinese chart and one said girl and one said boy.
All in all, a pretty mixed bag for me.
Just saw this thread pop back up again and realized that I never updated with our baby's gender... although I did update in other threads. Ours is a GIRL! Mama's intuition was clearly not the best indicator in our case...
I'm so interested in this, but I don't feel like I can truly participate because we are on team green! But, I guess I will say, pretty much ALL the old wives tales for me are telling me girl. I am gaining weight all over, my face is rounder, my skin is totally broken out, the ring test went in a circle, chinese gender test says girl, even/odd says girl, I was very sick first tri (didn't puke but constant nausea), HR has always been at least 140 or above, I'm carrying high, no changes in my hair, craving orange juice/citrus fruits, no changes in rate of hair growth like on my legs. The only thing saying boy right now is that I've craved way more salt than sweets. Who knows though!! Guess I'll let you guys know in t minus 3 months :)
chinese gender prediction: Boy
Bad breakouts/acne: girl (With my daughter I had flawless glowing skin. This pregnancy I am breaking out like a teenager)
Craving sweets, never salt: girl (true with my daughter, this pregnancy I want salty and sour, can't drink enough lemonade)
High baseline heartbeat consistently: girl (DD's heart rate was always perfectly average) but I am not sure yet, I've only had one appointment
Carrying low: boy
Even & odd: boy
bad morning sickness: girl (it's worse this time around)
Every test has pointed to boy, and then I took one gender prediction test that said girl, but my Intelligender instantly turned green (boy).
Here's mine:
chinese gender prediction: girl
Dry hair: girl
Craving salt: boy
bad morning sickness: girl
wedding ring test: girl
Ultrasound showed a girl!
And mine:
chinese gender prediction: girl
Bad breakouts/acne: girl
Craving sweets, never salt: Craved both - fraternal twins? 
Definitely drink a lot of OJ and eat lots of fruit though (girl)
High baseline heartbeat consistently: OB never gave me a heart beat rate
Carrying low: I think I'm a mid-line carrier. Inconclusive
Even & odd: boy
bad morning sickness: boy - my morning sickness wasn't too bad.
The results: GIRL
And here's a weird one to add to the test?
Urinate in a glass or jar with a tablespoon of Drain-O in it. If the mixture is green you will have a girl; if the mixture is blue, you will have a boy.
Any takers in trying this one out?
Here's mine:
Chinese gender prediction: boy
Bad breakouts/acne: girl
Good hair: boy
Craving sweets and OJ, never salt: girl
High baseline heartbeat consistently: girl
Carrying low: boy
Even & odd: girl
No morning sickness: boy (I hear conflicting info on this. Most people say if bad m/s it's a girl)
Intuition said boy....I'm having a boy!! So, about 50% correct : )
chinese gender prediction: didn't know about this one
Bad breakouts/acne: mildly bad... so girl?
Craving BEEEEEEF, serious reduction in my usually massive sweet tooth: boy
High baseline heartbeat consistently: boy (i thought that meant boy, not girl, i see some discrepancy)
Carrying low: boy (my coworker is Vietnamese and said I'm carrying HIGH and *that* means boy... uh....) --either way, i'm only 5'0 so I'm sure carrying high and carrying low are in the same place for me!
face: looks same even with weight gain: boy
Even & odd: not sure what this is
bad morning sickness: wasn't *that* bad--not much puking but lots of nausea. either gender
pointy belly: boy
putting on all the weight out front (can't tell from behind): boy
mom's intuition: boy
hair: can't tell if it's changed so... no data
and I'm having a boy!! most were right for me
Just wanted to update that the old wives tales were right for me! We ended up having a girl after all :)
chinese gender prediction: girl
Bad breakouts/acne: some breakouts... girl
Craving salts, never sweet: no craving as such but prefer salty to sweet- Boy?
High baseline heartbeat consistently: girl
Carrying low: boy
Even & odd: whats that?
morning sickness: not too bad = Boy
And Im having a Boy! 50%?
chinese gender prediction: girl
Bad breakouts/acne: ugh, there is no pregnancy glow... girl
Craving sweets, never salt: sweets and fruit all day long... girl
High baseline heartbeat consistently: girl
Carrying low: boy
Even & odd: boy
bad morning sickness: some morning sickness, but never bad... boy
And we are having: A BOY! a lot of the predicitions were wrong, thank goodness for ultrasounds!
