An ovulation calander is a chart of sorts identifying a woman's most fertile period. It is found under the category of Fertility Awareness or Natural Family Planning. The methods of birth control and fertility manipulation found in this category are a group of hormone-free and all-natural options.
The other method is "Chinese Gender Chart".

The basis of an ovulation calendar as chinese gender chart is getting to know your body and your cycle. It begins with research. The first step is to record your cycles for 8 to 12 months. Once you have compiled this data, however, the time-consuming part is over and the rest is simple. Take the number of days in your shortest cycle and subtract the number 18. If your shortest cycle was 24 days, for example, you would subtract 18 from 24, giving you 6. This number indicates the first day of your window of fertility. Then, take the number of days in your longest cycle and subtract the number 11. If your longest cycle was 30 days, for instance, you would subtract 11 from 30, arriving at 19. This would be the last day of your window of fertility. In this example, your window of fertility would be between Days 6 and 13 of your cycle. Ovulation would occur at some point in this period of time.
Yes, your ovulation calendar can be used for this purpose too. Gender selection is a hot topic of late. The idea of being able to control and select a child's gender is quite appealing to some, especially those who long for a child of a particular gender. But there are also many questions and issues of morality associated with artificial gender selection. For those who are interested in selecting the gender of their child without the moral issues associated with it, there is good news. There is a natural form of gender selection that has its roots in the Chinese Gender Chart.
Thanks to your ovulation calendar, you know the time period in which ovulation will occur. The only other fact you would need to know would be the exact point of ovulation. (There are other methods under the category of Fertility Awareness that can help you determine this.) Once you know this, selecting your child's gender is a simple matter of timing.
The egg carries the X chromosome. The sperm provides the second chromosome, either X for female or Y for male, at the moment of fertilization, thereby determining gender. Sperm carrying the X (female) chromosome swim slower and live longer than those carrying the Y chromosome (male). Therefore, if you want to conceive a boy, you should have intercourse as close as possible to ovulation. If you wish to conceive a girl, you should have intercourse about 3 days prior to ovulation.
There are more specific forms of natural gender selection. One of these is called the Shettles Method. It involves the method described above, as well as positions used during intercourse.
