ring trick?

[alayne926]

Has anyone seen the "ring trick" (old wives tail) going around fb?

I just tried it because I'm bored and it was right for me. It said 3 girls, boy, girl, then stopped.

I'm guessing the first 3 were my losses (chemical, miscarriage, and ectopic), DS, and S. I keep saying I'm done to DH. So weird!!

I did it and it said 2 girls 2 boys. I've already had two girls, so far accurate. I drunkly told SO I was sad LO won't have a sister to grow up with. Lol

[mrsmonogrammed]

I did it- girl, boy, boy, girl was my result. I've done it 3 times, all the same. Kind of freaky!

[jillywilly]

I did it just now - three boys. So the first one is right, and then if alayne926's theory is right our miscarriage was a boy. So hopefully one more healthy boy? I'd take it.

I want to play but I have no rings.. meh, I wonder what this means?!

[blueskiessmiling]

I did this and stopped it myself after kid #7😳. It was right about my first two, though...

[periwinkledaydreams]

blueskiessmiling I always wanted 7 kids... Yikes!

[stinybean]

periwinkledaydreams does it help that I lost my wedding ring? My sister did it with a needle and it worked for her.

[sugarkissed]

I tried twice and it said I was going to have 3 girls. Sorry DH, maybe we'll have to get another male pet?

[mrsdee1982]

I tried it too! It told me

Girl - I assume loss #1
Girl - I assume loss #2
Girl - C
Boy - Possibly the vanishing twin??
Girl - current bun in oven?

Holy Mack, I've seen this video but never tried it and didn't think it would actually feel conclusive or something. But those spins and swings are aggressive! And so weird when it stops!

Anyway, mine went boy, girl (accurate obviously), boy, girl. We always have said we'd stop at 3..

I won't even tell H about this day lol.

Just did it again, at a bigger table where I wasn't bumping into my water bottle. Same response. So weird!

I didn't get any circles or swinging...just spinning so I guess it didn't work for me...

Didn't work for me either, it didn't even spin.

[jessila]

I got 2 boys and then it stopped. Guess O will have a brother some day.

You all will remind me of this whenever I get pregnant again, right?

[missjenniebean]

I just tried it.

My results were:
Girl
Girl? Boy? Both? It did a little of both but twins don't run In my family (do they have to run in he family to get them) so it was undecided.
girl.
Literally stopped. Kinda creepy.


So SO, guess you'll be the only male! Hehe unless the second one is a boy

[tiffbot]

So even though I said I couldn't tell H (haha) I had to show him. Again I sat in a different place and again it came back the exact same. Like I couldn't stop giggling part way through because I was so sure of what it would do. He could even tell how weird it was when it quit moving.

[beersandweirs]

I tried it and got two girls, a boy, then like 5 more girls before I stopped. So yeah, I don't think it's entirely accurate for me.

[Deleted]

Mine said girl then boy. Not accurate for me since I had a boy then a girl.

[silv3rlining]

Boy, girl, stop. Seems right for me.

[erbear]

What exactly are you supposed to do? I hate watching videos.

Suspend a ring of yours by your hair. Hold it suspended in one hand, lay other hand flat, trace the outline of opposite hand with ring, then retrace back to where you started from. Move ring over center top of hand on flat surface. If the ring spins in a circle it means boy, if it swings back and forth it means girl, if it doesn't move it means no baby.

But the science behind this test is so reliable. How can it be wrong?

[shahoi]

So I just tried it 4 times and my results have been girl, girl, girl. My poor H!! At least all of our animals are boys.

Maybe I'm the one exception. Or my next pregnancy will be septuplets...

[erbear]

Mine swung back and forth for a long time, then did a few tiny circles, then went back to swinging. So that's girl, boy, girl?

Oh. I forgot to add that you have to restart it after each child. So once for A, then start over for your next ones.
Mine did boy two times then the third time it just didn't move.
