FF Pregnancy Points

I thought Buena said you get 40 just for ovulating. WTF - I only have 37. Bastards.

40 just for ovulating? I only had 47 when I got KU.

They are worthless.

They suck. I once had 90.

It was either Staycee or Chrys that only had like 87 even after they inputted their BFP. What a crock of shiit

buenaestrella77

no, i think that was missLB. i'm chart challenged remember?

missLB is single-handedly taking down FF regarding their "pg points" system.

Serendipitie

Oh yeah! I remember that now - thanks for the reminder Buena

MIne stayed at 47 too.

Let's see,  they started that after I got pregnant with Chickadee.  I believe I logged in once or twice for something random and I had 97 points.

I had 96 points the cycle of the ectopic, but they started going down when my temp started dropping - something like 85 when I got the positive.

I never got over 55 last cycle, but apparently, if you stop temping during the lp (as I tend to do to avoid total meltdown as my obsessiveness has no off switch) you won't get over 65, even with bfp.

Thus, utter and total crap.  But I did get a good blog entry out of comparing FF pregnancy points to skeeball tickets at the pizza place, so they aren't entirely worthless.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID!! LOL! i think you guys should get prizes for those points...at least.

don't even get me started on FF! 

here is the response from FF about the pregnancy points (after responding to their survey and asking them why they even have that feature), obviously I was mistaken by their purpose, though I still see none:

This tool is not a pregnancy predictor. It answer a question often asked: "how frequent are my symptoms on pregnancy charts" Indeed there is more to pregnancy than the sign on your chart however it does not make this tool less interesting. The issue here is that you seem to think that it is some sort of pregnancy predictor or pregnancy test. It is really not that.

easjer05

That doesn't even make sense.

If it's not a pregnancy predictor, then what is it?  It assigns points on a 100 point scale to indicate the liklihood of the signs/temps/things on your chart being found on a pregnancy chart.  That isn't a predictor of the liklihood you are pregnant?  Really?

I get annoyed that I have to rehide it every freaking day.  Because then I have to see it whether I want to or not.

Yeah, I can't remember what my score was after I entered my BFP but it wasn't near to 100 which to me is ridiculous.

Basically the points on FF are a crock o'***.
