  • How do u do it
  • Tie a piece of circular plastic on the end of a string or use a lightweight necklace. If it goes in a circle it's a girl, if it goes back and forth it's a boy.
  • Let me know your results
  • When I did it, mines went back and forth and in circles.
  • I did it and mines went in circles.
  • Lol, idk. It's a old wives tale of course or maybe your having twins lol. What type of plastic did you use? I used a piece of string with a bead on the end, you know the kind of needs you would use in a lil girls hair. Went in circles everytime. I told my teenage son to do it just for laughs n the string didn't move at all. Who knows???
  • I have always been told to use a ring of the mothers
  • I will try that too
  • Tried that, now it says a boy. Dont think this is a good method.
  • I did it with a piece of string nd my ring nd it was a boy which was right.
  • Lol I thought the old wives tale was with crystal or glass...?
  • I did a different one...its with a pencil, string and a needle. Inste as d of holding it over your belly you hold it over your wrist. The pencil will go left and right for a girl or up and down for a boy. This one will give you the birth history. I have 2 daughters already so for me it says girl, goes in circles, then another girl, circles, then it says im having a third girl this time. Once its done the pencil stops moving. I dont know if its right yet. The only reason I believe this one is because it was correct for my grandma's 7 kids and my mom's 5 kids. Its crazy how it does the births in order! Ive done it to my mom about 10 times this past week just to see if its accurate every time and it has been every time.

    I figured I would share another wives tale you could try =)
  • LOL don't you wish there was an actual test that was for real?! Apparently dogs can smell a difference in you the second your egg is fertilized, I wonder if you give off a different smell for the sex of your baby as well.

    I saw a test at Walgreens that's tests the sex of the baby, not sure if it works though, its like $20
  • @mommyX3 I did the string test that way also and mine says boy, girl, boy and I am pregnant with our first and we found out last week that we are having a boy! So it was right for me! My grandmother showed me it and has done it on several women and it has not been wrong yet! It's crazy how it works :)
  • @mommyx3, how do you perform the test with a pencil, string, and needle?
  • Ok so how does the pencil test work, how do you attach the pencil, and needle and string? I wanna try that one
  • You thread the needle and leave the string like 5 or 6 in long, then u stick the needle in the center of a sharpened #2 pencil. Hold the thread at the end and put the tip of the pencil over ur wrist. The pencil will bounce around for a bit then it will start to move left to right ( girl ) or front to back ( boy ) it will eventually stop and bounce around again and if u r going to have more kids it will start moving again...it will do this until it shows u how many kids u will have and in what order. Once its done it will stop moving and not move again!!
  • I do it exactly how cpelfrey247 does it! Its so much fun and ive never seen it come out wrong either!
  • Ok, trying it now
  • Sounds like fun, I can't wait to try when I get home.
  • I did the traditional string test with a piece of thread and a ring...4 times in a row it said girl :) I also did the penny test ( you lick a penny and stick it to the wall, if it sticks girl, if it falls boy) and that said girl too :) the Chinese lunar calendar also predicts girl for me, I hope they're all right but I won't find out til April lol
  • Omg! I just did it and it showed my first four boys then it showed a boy for this pregnancy and didn't stop moving! It then showed 2 girls and another boy... My husband wants lots of kids but damn thats alot!!! Lol. Kinda freaked me out though
  • I Jus did it with a necklace asn it went it a big circle girl girl girl
  • I done it w a necklace n my ring n it shows my two boys n two girls n this one it says I'm having a girl I will know in two weeks.
  • I did the string /ring test before i knew the sex and it said i was having a girl i later found out its a boy so it was wrong for me
