Yes. Doctors can use a computer to find out when you got pregnant, I saw it on 9 months lol when Robin Williams helped them figure out the date. There is an online calculator too I think, but it wouldn't be as accurate as a doctor. Go to the doctor and get a test and he'll be able to tell you exactly when you got pregnant, the exact day.

Clinical Procedures to Find out Gender
If you and your partner decide to find out the sex of your baby, you may decide to pursue certain clinical testing procedures. These procedures can often tell you the sex of your baby with great accuracy.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is usually the most common procedure used to determine a baby’s gender. Throughout pregnancy, it is likely that you’ll receive a few different ultrasounds. Ultrasounds between the 18th and 26th week of pregnancy are usually the most accurate when it comes to determining the sex of a fetus.
During your ultrasound, your health care practitioner will run a hand-held device over your abdomen. This device passes sound waves through your uterus, creating a picture of your fetus. This picture can then be analyzed for sex-specific characteristics, such as a penis or vagina. It is important to remember that ultrasound isn’t 100% accurate, though. The accuracy of ultrasound does depend upon the type of equipment used, the age and position of your baby, and the skill of your health care practitioner.
Amniocentesis
Amniocentesis is a genetic test typically performed on pregnant women who are at higher risk for certain genetic diseases or birth defects. It can provide information on the genetic status of your baby, and can also determine your baby’s gender. It is usually performed between the 9th and 18th week of pregnancy.
During an amniocentesis, fluid from your uterus is removed using a needle. This fluid (the amniotic fluid) contains vital information about your baby. It can be analyzed to determine your baby’s sex. Results typically take between two and four weeks, however, they are close to 99% accurate. Amniocentesis does carry a risk of miscarriage however: miscarriage occurs in about 1% of all amniocentesis procedures.
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)
Chorionic villus sampling can also be used to determine the gender of your baby. However, CVS is usually reserved for women who are at high risk of having a baby with a genetic or chromosomal abnormality.It is typically performed in between the 8th and 11th week of pregnancy.
During CVS, samples of the cells from small projections on your placenta (called villi) are removed. These cells are then analyzed for their genetic structure. CVS is also 99% accurate in determining the sex of a fetus. However, CVS is not without its risks. This procedure carries a 4% risk of miscarriage and is also associated with an increased risk for infection, premature labor, and fetal damage.

no there are no charts to say what your baby will be but you can have an ultra sound,they even do them in 3d and colour .yes it been a long time since i had a child.
PS i agree with hot mama it is fun to keep guessing till you give birth i think it is boring if you know what you are having it take the fun out of it.

why cant having a baby be a surprise like in the old days, or in countries that are not civilized with ultrasounds and stuff. I say you just wait until the baby is born to know what he/she is!!! That will be fun. Why do you want to know if it's a girl you will love and support her and if it's a boy you will also love and support him. : )

Hopefully, your baby is human. What more do you want to know? Sex??? Ultrasounds do that just fine. Charts?? This is not the dark ages...no, there are no charts.

Yes there is but i'm not sure if they're available anymore. But it's a chart shaped like a circle and you set it to your conception date so that it automatically is also set to the size and birthdate. But the one that my mom has is from about 20 years ago...maybe they're available online now.

You can go to www.babycenter.com They have loads of info there. It gives you daily updates on things from how you should be feeling to what is going on with the baby. There is a calendar for everyday of your pregnancy. It helped quite a bit during mine.

do a lot of searches on google and ask.com. I'm sure there are many sites that will give you ideas... but the only real way to find out is a good ultrasound

Look at the fathers family, sex comes from the father.
If his family is mostly men then chances are good it's a boy, if his family is mostly women, then chances are it'll be a girl, but you never really know for certain until the doctor says
"It's a ................."
