old wives tales

I'm 12 weeks & 4 days. I've been trying the old wives tales because I am really anxious. I'm praying for a boy. All of the tales I've trued has pointed to a boy. I have the long dark line from my pubic bone to my navel then up to my ribs. I tried the ring & it spun in a circle. I've only had morning sicknesses twice. My question is who bas tried it? What have you tried? & was it accurate?

According to the old wives tales I should be having a boy, but I'm definitely having a baby girl.

Anything you try has a 50% chance of being right. .
I did the Chinese calendar and it was wrong.  If you're gonna do them,  keep in mind they're just for fun.
