Fertility Friend-- worth it to buy membership?

My free trial is over, and now I'm wondering if I should buy the membership/VIP account.  Anyone have pros/cons from experience?  I figure I can understand my charts and all on my own, but didn't know if there was a huge benefit to upgrading to VIP that I may be missing.

Re: Fertility Friend-- worth it to buy membership?

  • I have VIP and I have used it so long that I don't know what the difference is anymore.   If you are just using it for basic charting then I would think that you are fine.  With VIP, I have access to message boards that I think others dont (i could be wrong) but that isnt a huge deal.  Some custom data can be put in with VIP and maybe some of the other features....but you still get the basics of what you need for the free version.
  • I also have VIP but only got it because I thought it would lead to a quicker BFP.  Well that didn't happen.  Now that I am very aware of my cycles and my body I probably will not renew when my membership is up.

  • I pretty much just used FF to chart my temps, I didnt do anything else on it, so the VIP would not have been worth it to me.  But, if you chart CM and everything else, I could see that it would be useful to help you to analyze all that data. 
  • i had vip b/c i am too lazy to count my dpo by hand.  I like to just see what dpo i am.

  • I liked having VIP when I did.  It was worth it to me, but for the life of me I can't remember what the benefits were.

  • Hi, it's me again, the random lurker :P I've had a VIP membership since August and to me it's worth it. But the main reason why is that I've made friends with the girls on the message boards, and we have a little buddy group going, where we always check in with each other. You also have access to the VIP board, where you can ask the ff mods detailed questions about stuff and they'll get back to you quickly. What else... the "analysis" section is good, it calculates your potential due date and stuff like that.

     All in all, you're not really missing anything, but if you make friends with other girls on there, you'll get hooked and keep renewing. That's how they get you! :P

  • Thanks for the input! 

    I got so used to the VIP features during the trial that now I'm sad to not have them...like the calendar with the color-coded sections.  It's so dumb really, but I liked having it LOL!  

    Oh, also, does the price go up from the $45 they quote during the "special offer" period, or is that just a buy-now tactic?

    I think it's just a buy-now tactic; that $45 price is always the same when I look!

    Just as I suspected!  Thanks!

  • I tried to go without it for a few days and couldn't do it.  Not sure why because I haven't really made friends on the boards over there (thats what i have this board for) but i liked the extra features.
