Pregnancy Info HOME

Pencil test said I was to have two boys. My first child is a little girl, but this pregnancy it's a boy. So, I say it has a 50/50 ratio.

Hello! Well I have 4 weeks to go until I have my baby and I have done this test again. It has successfully showed the s_x of my fierst 6 children in order (BGBBBB), and is now saying a girl for this one. (And thankfully no more after that!!!) When I first did this test it showed what I thought were twins but now only just the 1 baby - Thank God!!! I have had 3 ultrasounds this pregnancy and the first at 16 weeks (which I thought was a bit early considering the equipment they used-no 3D images out here), she said it looks like a boy. Then another at 18 weeks and that machine was on its way out and is no longer used by the hospital because it cannot pick up images properly-he said he thinks that it is a boy but wasn't sure. And the final scan was done at 30 weeks and the lady said she couldn't see a p___s and if she had to guess she would say that it's a boy, but not to take her on that result. So I have 4 weeks left and I will let everyone know what the s_x of this one is - if the pencil has predicted it right. HOPEFULLY IT HAS BECAUSE AS YOU CAN SEE WE REALLY NEED A GIRL !!!!

So how exactly do you perfor, the penicl test? I tried looking it up but could find any directions or anything? Anybody know?

ok first of all, the test has a 50/50 chance of being right. It told me I was having a girl but I'm having a boy. I mean sometimes a guess is right, so it might be for you, but not because it can really prdict it, only b/c it is a guess and there are good chances.

you take a pencil with an eraser, thread a needle and the stab the needle into the eraser. hold it over your wrist. if it starts to circle then it is a girl, if it only goes back and forth its means boy. Good luck

well i did the needle test and it said that i was going to have a girl and then a boy and i had a girl and now im pregnant with a boy and my mom did it too and it said that she was going to have a girl and then a boy and she did but it said that she was going to have another girl but she had gotten her tubs burnt so she can't have anymore kids

Can you beleive this thread started over 2 years ago?????

wow i didnt even realize that until now i didnt know how popular this was cause when i talk to people about it they have no idea what im talking about

I have done the pencil test on myself and can say that it actually works!! It does work on my husband and brother and others men. I have 3 children and they were right. Now I have a pencil swinging on the diagonal. I have always thought it meant I would have twins. Maybe different types of twins swing in a different way? Any thougths?

my mom did it when I was pregnant with my first, it said boy. I thought I was having a girl (although didnt care what I was having) I had a boy. It tells me "boy, girl" I did it on my sis-in law who has four kids, it read every single kid in order that she had. So, its really not 50/50 like people are trying to say. Who knows? All I know that is to everyone I did it to, (over 5 different people with about 14 children to read in total) all were right except for one. Thats what, 92% accurate? lol.. I know theres no magic to it, but its just kind of weird how accurate it was for me. I'm sure theres a bunch of people that it didnt work for.

I want to try this test but I'm a little confused. I am now pregnant for the 6th time, however I only have 3 kids. The first two are with my first husband and my third is with my husband now. We are expecting another baby and I am about 5 weeks along. If I do the test is it going to read my kids I have now or just the one that I am currently pregnant with? Also should I do the test on myself or have my husband do it?

mamaof3 - I submitted an entry on 29 April 2006 about my cousin who had been pregnant 9TIMES but only has 4 children. So yes the needle does show up any miscarriages and abortions etc.

Churkie, so was the pencil test correct for your last baby? Was it a girl?

Well mamaof3, I did the test again just before I had the baby and it said a BOY!! And yes I did indeed have ANOTHER boy! When he was about 2 mtohs old (he's 4 mths old now) I did the test again to see if that was it for me, but it says that there is one more the next time a GIRL?? I did this test on my partner when I was about half way through my last pregnancy and it said he was having 4 kids. Some people have said that it doesn't work on men but I think different. I'll do it again later on today and write back a response to you OK?! BYE

I've just done this test on me and it says boy, circle then girl. I have a 4yr old boy and am now 13wks preg but i cannot find out what it is until it's born because they wont tell anyone where i live what it is when you have an ultrasound. It has run in my family that the order of born children is boy,girl,boy,girl. My mother had boy,girl,boy, then girl me, i was possibly a twin and she miscarried the other or she fell straight away with me, they didn't know for sure at the time, although i was born early. I am going to do the pencil test on her to see if it is right with them, if it is then i will totally be a believer and i might even find out if i was a twin or not, something my mum would like to know.
