What is the Mayan calendar gender predictor?

The Mayan calendar gender predictor is a fun way to guess the gender of an unborn baby that uses the mother’s age and the month of conception to predict what the baby’s gender will be.

Here, we explain how this method works and how accurate it is, as well as other methods that can be used to determine a baby’s gender.

What is the Mayan calendar gender predictor? 

The Mayan calendar gender predictor is a method that is sometimes used to predict whether an unborn baby is likely to be a boy or girl.

If the mother’s age and month of conception are both odd numbers or both even numbers, the baby is predicted to be a girl.

If one number is even and the other is odd, the baby is predicted to be a boy.

For example, if a 30-year-old mother conceives a baby in May, the baby would be predicted to be a boy as 30 is an even number and May is month number 5, an odd number!

The Mayan calendar gender predictor is quick and easy to use, and a fun way to guess a baby’s gender. However, there is no scientific proof that this method works when it comes to accurately predicting a baby’s sex before birth.

How accurate is the Mayan calendar gender predictor?

There is no scientific merit to prove that the Mayan calendar gender predictor is accurate.

The predictor is not a scientific tool and can only be used as a fun way to guess the gender of an unborn baby.

As you will either be having a baby boy or a baby girl, any method used to predict the baby’s gender (that doesn’t use a scientific technique) will only be accurate around 50% of the time. Essentially, it is like flipping a coin!

Should I use the Mayan calendar gender predictor?

The Mayan calendar gender predictor is a fun way to guess the gender of your baby, but the results should not be relied upon.

As the dates used for this method are based on the mother’s age and the month of conception, the test can be carried out at any point during the pregnancy and the results will stay the same – though they may not be correct.

How can I find out my baby’s gender for certain?

To accurately determine the gender of an unborn baby, the best option is to carry out a baby gender blood test, such as the test we offer at AlphaBiolabs.

Baby gender blood testing can be carried out from as little as 6 weeks into a pregnancy and has an accuracy of over 99%.

Our At-home Baby Gender Test kit contains everything you need to collect a small blood sample quickly, easily, and painlessly from the mother, and then return it to our accredited lab for testing.

We are the ONLY laboratory in Ireland to offer the TinyTAP device for blood sample collection, allowing you to collect your blood sample in the comfort of your own home, with no venous blood draw or clinical appointments needed.

If you would prefer to have your sample collected by one of our professional sample collectors, you have the option to order a Clinical Baby Gender Test.

Laboratory analysis is performed in the same way as with our At-home Baby Gender Test and your results will be just as accurate (99%). However, with a Clinical Baby Gender Test, you can choose to have your sample collected at one of our walk-in centres* or a time and location convenient to you* (via TinyTAP or venous blood draw).

Both our At-home Baby Gender Test and Clinical Baby Gender Test offer results in just 3-4 working days.**

Other methods of determining your baby’s gender are available. However, none of these offer results from as early as 6 weeks into pregnancy, or the ability to collect your own blood sample at home. Additionally, some of these methods (e.g. chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis) carry a small risk of miscarriage and are only available to women who are at high risk of having a baby with a genetic or chromosomal abnormality.
