Anyone confirm the earliest it works at, ie can it beat the 16 scan & what it does when there is nothing. Am I right in saying it just sits there?

cant wait to start hearing some of the results
Tested my mare and a few others that were out with same stallion last summer and first foalie has been born (not mine unfortunately but from mare covered at same time)
Nail test said colt, and friday evening the mare had a beautiful little....filly! D'oh! Still a few more to go so will see if sucess rate improves!!!

This mare was covered between the 16th -19th April 2010, stallion rather liked her and she was running with him so got a lot of action!!
My mare who is yet to pop was covered on the 16th only so be interesting to see what she has as guess moonphase will say the same as dates so close?
16th and 17th was a male phase and 18th and 19th was a female phase.

Has anyone ever tried it on themselves? I have been told you don't even need to be pregnant - a needle or a wedding ring on a piece of thread or hair will tell you how many children you are going to have/had had and the sex in sequence. I have to say it has always worked on me and it also seems to work on men........so you can tell if they have any extra marital offspring!!!! LOL!!!!
Try it though - it's spooky!
Please forgive me as I havent read the whole thread but I went to a interesting Derren Brown show and amongst other things he explained how stuff like this was not true. He said no matter how much you tried to not move your hand that you would infact move it the slightest amount, without knowing which would make whatever it was swing or move.
He said thats also how the ouija board worked and proved it with real life people from the audience to move a chair, even though none of them realised they were actually doing it.
I think its all a bit of fun, although never doing it myself but are we really suggesting that some force is emitted from a pregnancy which is somehow passed onto a object that Im holding?! I believe Derren Brown and the fact I may move it over that theory!
In fairness Id say in about 50% of the times it would be correct
Dont mean to be bar humbuggy over a thread (esp such a large one!) but I just dont buy into it! Im probably just bitter I have no babies in my mares tummys to do this on this year!!
All in good fun though, we should do a survey!! Well not me this year as no babies
Wel considering that the stallion determines the sex of the foal, I doubt that the research carried out on mares and lunar cycles will apply.
Did the nail test last night and was a definite swing backwards and forwards so looks like another colt for me! Also tried it on my gelding and luckily it stayed still!!!
So I guess so far we are 50/50ish for both methods?
