We had a run of bad luck at the start which I believe was down to a couple things which have now been rectified (probiotics, not long enough on diet, and having more than one attempt) It was still about 60% even at the very lowest point and has never been that low since then.
If you find people who you can't figure out, please let me know because I will probably remember who they were and can confirm their existence. at first we had so few users that we had to work with what we had.
I've been curious what ratio of success is comparing strict sways versus looser swayers. Like perhaps strict swayers have more 75 to 80% success and loose sways have 60 to 70 so it averages out or have we seen an equal amount of success across the board?? Does this even make any sense?? Haha
It does make sense, but the trouble is that at the same time, the people who are the most dedicated and do those super strict sways are also oftentimes the "marthas" and/or end up going overboard, cutting back too far, and end up having to sway blue just in order to get pregnant at all. So it isn't as cut and dry as all that, unfortunately.
I really do believe that these numbers (which are great, don't get me wrong, there are a couple things we would still be doing wrong without them), we almost need to view as "for entertainment only" and not take them quite as seriously as people are taking them.
When a larger trend is at play, like with probiotics, exercise, longer on diet, and one attempt, or even that the jellies, antihistamine, herbs and frequency are not getting it done, it's OBVIOUS and it stays that way over the course of time without much fluctuating. I feel like i"m seeing too much focus on things with 63 vs. 66% success rate and things that have like 2 people doing them.
I have to agree with Atomic. I have to at leas skim through all the sways to find the info & it seems like the strictest swayers have quite often ended up with boys. I haven't really paid attention to see how many cut back because it was too hard & how many managed to keep it up, but it does seem to be a trend.
There's also several girls from "I was planning to sway next month"
Atomic, when I've gone through all the ones I can find, I'll send you a list of the ones I couldn't. There's currently 7 or 8, I believe. I made a list.
I agree re the strict vs. lax but in addition the the Mary-Martha factor there's also fertility to be considered...getting pregnant with a strict sway may simply be impossible for most people and those that are able to do it are super duper fertile and able to "shake off" sway tactics. I think those who are very very fertile are more set for blue and this also messes with the numbers.
THere is a small handful of strict swayers who really were willing to go on swaying to the brink of insanity for months without relaxing and they did get girls.
But yes also agree about the number of "I was about to sway but got pregnant"...now I'm not always sure I 100% believe these people, I think at least some of them actually did sway and are trying to protect their emotions while others had probably started to make some changes even if subconsciously
i did a writeup of my thoughts on the statistics threads here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...tml#post601151 it's a great place to post questions, comments, concerns about the stats if you have them - I would like to have all the q's and answers in one tidy thread so I can then post it when people begin questioning me about the stats so please post questions.
Hello I've just discovered swaying and this forum - wow, a lot of great information to take in!
I've found your statistics spreadsheet extremely interesting but was wondering if there isn't perhaps a page that goes along with it that briefly describes each entry (i.e. Cranberry/aspirin, RepHresh/Replens, Lemon/vinegar douche etc...) - as in "Cranberry Juice X 2 / daily).
in my signature below here is a link to the Complete Index which has subjects in alphatical order
I just wanted to let everyone know, that we've had some volunteers kindly entering some sways that hadn't been entered in the spreadsheet and hopefully when the stats are next updated, they will be current with more results. :)
I love seeing things in numbers and I love statistics in general. So what to think about the promising numbers of alcohol? Wine had 19 successes of 25 or something like that. I also know lot of women enjoying their wine having girls.. Wonder what kind of amounts are we talking here..
Other observation: Skipping breakfast invert, 52 % success only. Is this indicating skipping breakfast is one of the main influences here? Or are people who don't bother skipping breakfast also doing overall relaxed sways? Or are people not skipping breakfast perhaps doing more the ig style swaying? Of course i wonder this as skipping breakie will be hard for me �� exercise invert is also low, 57%.
Breastfeeding looks promising and makes me wonder should I use the possibility as I am still bfing my ds2. I assume these people can't even do the strictest sway as can't have so much supplements and need eating good amount of calories to keep the milk healthy for the bubs.. And still 70% success.. Anyway, really good work here rainbow and love the speculations as well ��
