If you are getting opposites I need you guys to BE SURE you have messaged me to be sure you're added to the yearly tallies I keep. I sometimes miss them when they're added to these threads as I don't read every post. We want our results as accurate as possible.

HLM - I'm so sorry it didn't go the way we were hoping. How can I help?

Yes I had added you to our results already, thanks!

I do get that it's hard to see when you're in a group with several people and they get a lot of opposites. That's why I have to urge everyone to please go check out the overall numbers and not rely on the due date groups.

So my Appointment today was a joke. My doctor wasn't even there so they were super confused about what I had ordered. They told me at first that I had to have a pap. Then said no I didn't. THey also told me I could have my nipt today. Then retracted that too. Basically I sat in there for two hours for a glucose and hiv blood draw. Like wtf. I'm so pissed because I really wanted to do a cute gender thing for Halloween. Like I was shaking and crying when I left the office I was so upset. I'm tempted to do sneak peek clinical. I can literally go on Thursday! Is it worth the 129???? I'm thinking yes.

There are not a lot of opposites. We are still in the realm we were in 2019. Sometimes when we have a support thread going, we have several opposites in the support thread and people get upset, but that support thread is not the site as a whole.

Sometimes if you take a handful of 50-50 pink and blue M and M's, you get more of one than the other but it doesn't mean that the numbers of M and M's have changed really. Same goes for swaying - the smaller the sample size, the more likely it is to be skewed. It's only when we look at bigger sample sizes we can see what is working and what isn't.

Good point Atomic, thank you for restoring some hope. I haven’t been in this group for long but ever since I’ve joined it’s only been sway opposites which amplifiers it a bit! But you’re right, it is just a handful of us chatting so we’re not seeing the big picture.

Come on mammas, let’s turn this around xx

Did you get the NIPT test done Disneylover? Is that what you were scheduled in to do? I’m sorry it was a stressful experience!! How exciting that you’re only a week or so away from knowing who is growing inside! I don’t know if you need to do sneak peek as well if you’ve just find NIPT because that would be more accurate anyway wouldn’t it? Hugs x
