I can't understand the theory either. I have no idea what numbers mean what still after reading it a couple times.
Currently up at 5 bc ds2 woke up with croup!! Fun thanksgiving and his birthday ugh .
Suregena I would be totally the same so don't feel like you're annoying anyone! It is so hard not to obsess over the scans, I still obsess over mine even though it is VERY clearly a boy!! x
As far as i can tell numbers over 1 = girl and numbers under 1 = boy
And if you have one of each it is 50/50....it could go either wayQuote:

Lol I didn't mean twins. I mean one higher and one lower?
From what I understood, the hcg is higher for girls (over 1) and the rest of the number should be lower (under 1). For boys, hcg was lower but the other numbers were higher.
Look at Zivic's numbers -- they were "classic" girl numbers, and she wanted a boy, right?
Whoops LOL! Yes I think her HCG was low and the PAPPA was highQuote:

I saw the midwife today, my bump is measuring spot on and we got the heartbeat straight away nice and strong. I haven't weighed myself for ages but feel like I have put quite a bit on so I was really surprised when I stood on the scales to see I have only gained 1lb so far this pregnancy!!! I had gained a little more initially but must have lost it due to morning sickness. She said as my measurements were good and the ultrasound clearly showed the baby was doing well (and actually big for my original dates) that it wasn't anything to be worried about. I'm just so surprised though!
How is everyone else doing? Is anyone still suffering with morning sickness? xx
That's great news! I love good appts!!
Lots of all day ms here, still not actualy throwing up tho! I only actually got sick one time during the 12th week. I'm a couple days shy of 14 weeks and I still can't eat or smell meat, makes me so nauseous. I'm not going to be a happy eater this Thanksgiving!
Mummypink, I'm glad you had a good appt!
I thought my ms was gone, but yesterday it came back with a vengeance. I'm feeling really awful today, but thankfully I don't have to do the cooking. I'm still spotting so I'm trying to stay on the sofa.
LOL can you imagine the shock factor of that at my gender scan. Twins! Would explain why I'm so huge LOL.. I'm definite there is just the one, surely it would not be possible to miss that on 2 scansQuote:

Hello Everyone, haven't been on here for a while, mainly because I found it made me obsess about all of this a thousand times more and it just was not good for me...
Just wanted to let you know that I am also expecting a little boy (again), which would make this nr 3 for us. Have to admit, I am really down about it right now, even tough I know we will love him just the same. I keep hoping they made a mistake (I know they didnt), even if it just helps me to get through this until I eventually can accept the fact. I don't even want to tell anybody that we know the gender now... Don't want any comments, or even talk about the pregnancy... how sad is that? And then I feel quilty for feeling that way. Anyhows, I found that I've been checking on here more since I found out that this is a boy again, but I know it's not good for me (and therefor everyone around me...), so I might "disappear" again!
Good luck to everyone, hope all of you oppsites can enjoy your pregnancies!
By the way, my due date moved to april 9th.
Hi Ladies....just checking in to say Happy Thanksgiving! I can't believe my ultrasound is a week from today. I keep thinking...a week from right now I'll know. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...it's driving me nuts! I keep dreaming crazy dreams and I always wake up trying to think of another girl name, so even though I can't always remember the dreams I know I am dreaming that I found out it was another girl. Oh, this waiting seems longer the closer the date gets....which makes no sense. On another note, I have had three reminders in the past week to be thankful for this baby boy or girl. A family right down the road from us had their baby die of SIDS at 6 weeks old. Another distant family member went into premature labor at 23 weeks, was put in the hospital to try to keep her from having baby, but baby died. Then another girl I know went into labor the other day and ended up having her baby at 24 weeks (I haven't heard yet if the baby is still even alive....baby was so tiny). I just can't imagine the heartache of these families and it makes me so thankful that my pregnancy has gone well. I am still worrying like crazy though bc I still have not felt definite movements....although I know that's okay at this point. Well, hope you ladies all have a great evening!

That's the way I understood it, too. Hcg over 1 MoM was more likely found in girls. Under 1 was more likely with boys.Quote:

Happy Thanksgiving to the US moms!!!
Hope all of you ladies are doing well..
It's free hcg? And at what point in the pregnancy? I'm still confused lol
It's what they draw when they do your nt scan. From what I understand, the MoM is where you are in reference to the average for the day (so, like, 12+1 has an expected level of free beta hcg, nuchal translucency, etc). There are actually four measurements as part of the test, but my doc only gave me two. They will run my bloodwork again at 16 weeks I think as the second part of the test.
Around here, they usually don't give you your results. I had to call and bug the nurse just to get those.
Ahh yes, I did have it the wrong way round...... Another tick in the boy box!Quote:

What's up with the stats in this group??
Looking at he first post that gets updated there are only 4 successes out of 17 (known genders)
That's a success rate of only 23%?
Shouldn't the split of male/female be roughly 50/50? Or within the region at least ?!?
At the moment it's like 80/20
Bizarre....... Or am I the only one that thinks that?

I know Lassie its almost unbelievable! I think the only explination is that there are so many in the group swaying girl. The girl swayers must have a higher chance of getting boys even with swaying, because really we dont know exactly how much swaying actually changes the odds for any one couple. So if this group was just random people off the street the babies conceived would be closer to that 51/49 ratio, but because this group is made up of lots of women who want a particular gender but odds are against we are seeing the results as they are. Just my thoughts about it.
And im not saying that its just the girl swayers which have the odds against them, boy swayers do too, its just that the number of girl swayers in this group out number the boy swayers a lot, if there were more boy swayers in here the odds might be a little closer to 50/50. From the 2 that swayed boy and know gender so far it is 50/50. Where as out of the other 15 only 4 got girls.
I see your point Cinns..... It's certainly a tricky one.
Tried to see how the other groups have fared.
-In the December thread 7 out of 9 were successful.
- there are 15 genders confirmed in the sep/oct/nov thread but I can't see what they are because the icons don't come up on the phone :(
They are the only 2 tally's I could find
I think 9 out of 16 were successful in the sep/oct/nov thread
6 girl sways and 3 boy sways (i included Flava, she isnt confirmed on the list but did have a boy)
Thanks for looking :)Quote:

Well, our group is either going to have a huge rush of successful sways to even out the stats, or we will forever remain as a statistical anomaly.
I have a lot of friends due in April and they are all having boys too (none have swayed it's just how its worked I guess). Something must have been in the air last July that swung blue.. Hopefully the May babies have some luck ... Have we had any gender confirmed May babies yet?
