Does anyone here use the paid version and if so do you like it?

Or not?

Worth it?

Would buy again?

Yeah, all that jazz.

I currently have it but it expires in 13 days.  I'm not sure if I'll purchase again.  It has all kinds of features that make obsessing over charts a lot easier but I'm not sure that's such a good thing in my case.  I like that I can search for charts like mine, overlay my charts on top of one another to see similarities to previous charts, and look at stats for things like negative HPTs at 8 DPO (when I usually can't resist the urge to test any longer) followed by positive HPTs.

So I guess the real question is are you looking for things to obsess over?

I bought it for 2 years! It depends on how much you like to analyze every little detail? I liked all the extra features- but I'm like OCD about TTC lol I did temps, the CBEFM, OPKs, charted CP/CM- all the works. I wanted to analyze everything lol 

It's not necessary at all, you'll get what you need out of the basic version- you're just missing out on all the little frills, you know?

P.S there are always specials going on on their FB page- I never paid full price for it, "like" their page and wait for a deal (posted fairly regularly)

How do those deals compare to the regular deals they offer every so often directly from their website?  I've always wondered this but haven't had the nerve to "like" their page to find out because of paranoia about other people knowing our TTC status.

^^ this is me. I am so OCD I could make excel spreadsheets on TTC hahahaha.

I am more or less thinking about because you can overlay one months chart on top of another right (of your own charts I mean) to compare? Acupuncturist likes to view them that way but usually goes back and manually plots the points....on top of another...IDK.

I'm not sure how it compares? I always paid less than $20 for the year from the promos on the FB, are the regular promos on FF comparable to that? 

I made a fake FB to like the page for that same reason

I LOVE the chart overlay feature. It's probably really awesome if you get an actual BFP- I've never gotten a BFP while using FF, so I have nothing to compare it to. I stopped temping when we started treatment cycles, there's no point anymore Now if I get a BFP this cycle, I'll never know if my temps make some crazy pattern  :-q

I kid you not, I have excel worksheets on my work computer related to ttc tracking.

Oh yeah that's definitely better. I think the regular deals are like 40some for the year. I don't know why I never thought of the fake profile idea... I'm totally doing that next time!
