Question about sway result calculation

[HealthyGirl]

My husband is curious to know when we see these sway results on the spreadsheets,
if at all these include people who didn't report back to you their results maybe bc of gender dissappointment.
Because I'm assuming people are voluntarily reporting back with their sway result.

Sorry my husband is a bit of a pessimist.

Yes it's voluntary reporting. Everyone is encouraged to report back with their results as it helps other people when we get to see what is working and what isn't. It's such a lovely supportive community and we don't pick apart other peoples sways when they get an opposite. It's not a controlled scientific study. It is what it is.

We try to encourage everyone to enter their data be it success or failure. I've also seen some people never update after getting successes (unfortunately quite a few of my custom swayers do this, because they are worried about privacy issues). Most of the "regulars" do update because everyone gets so excited as the ultrasound dates come and go - it is difficult for someone to go away and not update because everyone will be peppering them with messages

I have an indepth explanation of the statistics and their value or lack thereof here.

Here's my $.02 on the numbers-

At the end of the day, we are giving you the best that we've got when it comes to all the collective years of researching swaying. Given that most people's success rate this far has been ZERO, I say were doing a pretty stellar job with our approach!

What's your alternative? IVF? Doing nothing? We are the ONLY place that is constantly reviewing data(and the only one that actually collects it) and works to make ourselves better everyday.

and as anyone who's been around on the site will testify, the SECOND I see any trend in swaying that I think cannot be explained in any other way, I immediately do a 180 degree turnaround even if it was one of my ideas to begin with. I have done this on frequency, number of attempts, olive leaf extract (which I was highly skeptical of but seems to be working), jellies, antihistamines, etc. I'm here to get the max number of people their desired gender!

Do please check out the "thoughts on stats" thread I linked to, it's pretty illuminating.
