Busy Weeks...


I haven't been posting for quite a while. Been busy with shifting to the new office early this month before moving to our new branch office in Kuala Terengganu.

May is going at a very fast rate. It seems just like yesterday when Labour Day was celebrated. Then with the course I have to attend, leave when I had to go and search for my new house and other courses related to going to open up an office branch, it seems I only have a week to do as much as I could before leaving my HQ.

Hope that when I am in Terengganu I will have more time in researching up methods for determining baby gender. Need to start to take up more of the folic acid obviously as I will try my best to conceive in June (well, the Chinese Gender Prediction Calender said I'll get a girl starting June till Sept I think).

I hope it is right.

When I went for the Stress Management last two week, one of the presenter, who is an alternative medicine man told us that babies spend their first four weeks as female before some change into male (maybe due to the chromosome XY) so... I hope to do a bit of search on that!

Draino / Drano Baby Gender Prediction Method



Caution! The fumes produced are toxic and the results are unreliable therefore it it NOT ADVISABLE to try this method. Mom would get serious reaction should the fumes are inhaled or mixture touch the skin. Colour intrepretation may also vary to personal observation and therefore unreliable.

It should be done after 4 months of pregnancy. Test to be performed outdoor. The size of Jar/Glass should be at least twice amount of urine as the result produces bubbling, smelly and caustic chemical reaction when the urine is added to the crystal drano.

The Draino Baby Prediction Test.
- Approx. 2 tablespoon of crystal drano
- Medium glass or jar preferably to throw away after the test
- 2 - 3 ounces of preferably first morning urine

Do this all outside the house: Put the crystal drano into the jar. Add urine. Get away from the jar as there'll be rapid chemical reaction with bubbling and toxic fumes.

When the chemical reaction stops, observe the colour of the mixture.

Baby Boy - Mixture darken to brownish colour within the first 10 seconds
Baby Girl - No colour change or darkening after 10 - 15 seconds

The Easiest Ways to Conceive


Pregnancy usually occurs when the egg is fertilised within 24 hour from its release from the ovary. Therefore, to get a baby is to get sperm meeting with the egg ideally 12 - 24 hours after ovulation.

Ovulation happers around 14 days before menstruation (for 28 days long menstrual cycle), i.e 14 days after the first day of your previous period. (For 32-day cycle, the ovulation is probably at the 18th days of the cycle).

Studies has shown that couples trying to get pregnant coinceived within 4 months of trying. By 6th months (75%), by a year (85%) and by 2 years (93%).

To improve chance for conceiving:
- Quit smoking cigarettes or marijuana
- Avoid K-Y jelly or other commercial lubricants that may cointain spermicide, use olive oil or veggie oil instead
- Monitor ovulation time

To pinpoint ovulation time:
- Keeping tract of body temparature which will rise close to the time of ovulation (might be handy to invest in "basal body temparature" termometer
- Monitor LH surge measured by LH in urine by using home ovulation predictor kit - positive result will show when ovulation occurs however it is a more expansive methic (at $20 - $30 per kit)
- New method using saliva to test for ovulation based on amount of increased estrogen levels during ovulation (pricier at $60 but can be used up to a year period)

Based on the birth dates of parents, the Baby Gender Calculator is software that is used to determine periods with increased probability of conceiving a baby boy or a baby girl for a particular parents couple.

Wedding Ring Baby Gender Prediction


A really simple method.

Tie a wedding ring to a thread or a strand of hair. Mom's to be need to lie down while the dangling item is place over the belly area.

For Baby Boy: The ring will move to and fro like a pendulum.

For Baby Girl: The ring will swings in a strong circular motion.

The ring can be substituted with a needle or a pin. Instead of the belly, the dangling item can also be placed over the mom's wrist.

Diet for Baby Gender


A new study of over 700 women conducted in Britain in 2008, led by the University of Exeter and University of Oxford shows that Mom's diet may influence baby gender:

For Baby Boy:
- eat breakfast cereal
- eat more total calories around the time of conception
- diet consisting of higher quality diets with wider range of nutrients, including potassium (think bananas, apricots, dried fruit and meat), calcium, vitamins C, E and B12
- Eating around 2,200 calories a day were 1.5 times more likely to have a boy

For Baby Girl:
- skipped breakfast
- eat less calories
- consume magnisium-rich diet (spinach, black beans, nuts and soy beans)

However, these are no reasons for girl yearning mommies to forgo breakfast.

The American Dietetic Association spokeswoman and registered dietitian Elisa Zied said that breakfast foods, especially breakfast cereals, are among the best dietary sources of folic acid , a nutrient that is critical during conception and early pregnancy for preventing birth defects.

Tea Time At Cameron Highland

Sipping newly brewed Cameron Valley tea at one of their shops. Behind Kimi is the tea plantation. Cute idea.

Very relaxing holiday and a satisfying one. Bought a whole load of fresh veggies at unbelievable cheap price (17 packages at RM10 i.e. USD 3+), 3 bouquets of roses at about 15 roses each therefore around 45 - 50 roses (also at RM10) and plants - camellias, mosquito repellent plant, sunflower (I love sunflowers) and lillies at about RM5 -6 (USD1++).

The Moon Baby Gender Method

Hmm.. Ladies do have mood swings depending on moon phrases so there might be something in this theory.

The theory stated that different sperms have different ions. There are negative ions during full moon and positive ions during new moon. So, to simplify:-

Girls during new moon phrase.
Boys during full moon phase.

The Whelan Method for Baby Gender

Developed by Elizabeth Whelan, Sc. D., this method is an all-natural method in which is safe and free. All mothers have to do is monitoring body temperature and watching the dates. For accuracy of ovulation time, ovulation kits are readily available.

To Get Baby Boy:
Make love 4 - 6 days before mothers' basal temparature goes up.

To Get Baby Girl:
Make love 2 - 3 days before ovulation.

The Whelan Method accuracy for baby gender selection is 68% (for boy babies) and 57% (for girl babies)
