I hate the FF point system

Raggedy1 · May 2011

It does nothing but give me false hope. Everyone says to just ignore it, but when you see the points go up and up... it's hard to put out of your mind!

lol I know how you feel...last month I got up to 33 points and then ended up getting my period a week early! Boo Stick out tongue

It drives me absolutely batty that there's no frame of reference or context for their point system. They don't tell you point values, what might make the scale go up (is it symptoms? temps or relationships between temps? DPO? Any or all of the above?), what the correlation is between high points and BFP charts, I could go on and on.

The lack of transparency totally makes it worthless in my mind. I don't know if that makes you feel any better, but I hope it means something good for you!

/end research nerd rant.

I'm on CD 14. I've tested and gotten BFNs on CD 11 and 13, but FF thinks I'm worthy of 82 points on their obscure rating system. They are pi**ing me off.

What's the highest FF score any of you Bumpies have seen?

I didn't have enough points

I had like 32. But I loved to see what it said.

I have 48 right now... pretty sure I am getting AF very soon though...

This is my first month charting, but I have 8 points Stick out tongue

, whatever that means. I realize its meaningless, but I agree that its just plain batty. I had thought that the points were reflective of the symptoms you put in (sore BB, bloated, etc), I don't know. How stressful--82 points seems HIGH, and then AF a week early. Oh FF, why do you toy with our emotions!?
