TTC After a Loss

need opinions from FF users

this may have been asked before. do you prefer the VIP membership or just use the basic? my VIP ran out yesterday & I'm debating on renewing or just leaving it like it is. I know the VIP does not increase my chance of getting KU but it is helpful. opinions will be greatly appreciated!Big Smile

Re: need opinions from FF users

  • They run specials on Facebook where you can get a year for $20. That's when I bought it. Iposted this question a few months ago on TTGP and the general consensus was when it's cheap, buy it, otherwise don't. I personally find that I obsess too much about the pregnancy signs and the points it gives you afterwards, but I bought a year, so I've got about 10 months left.

  • I have personally never paid for the VIP membership. I had it for the first month free and randomly get 5 day trials. While I like all the options it includes I just can't justify spending the money on it. I am TTA right now so it seems pointless to have the VIP membership but I also won't be purchasing it once we're TTC. For me, I could find better ways to spend that money, especially since it's not going to help me get pg. The basic works fine.

  • I'm only in my 2nd month charting temps and using FF but I"m totally ok with the plain jane vanilla version.  It gives me what I need and that's ok with me.  I'd rather spend the money on things to pee on :)  Since I seem to have a POAS addiction.

  • I've never had the VIP other than the first month or whatever you get free, and some random free days here and there. It certainly is nice, but not worth the $$ IMO since, like you said, it won't help you get pregnant.

  • I have the VIP because I bought it when it was cheap. No it won't help me get pg but I am OBSESSIVE and really trying to track every possible thing. In retrospect it probably wasn't the best thing for me, but I heard so many people on this board recommending it when it was cheap so I splurged!

  • I had VIP for a year. It didn't get me KU any faster so I won't be shelling out the money for it again.

  • I went with the VIP mainly because I thought it was limiting not being able to see the specification charted, which annoyed me after being able to see them that first trial month. I also really like the chart overlay feature and my first few cycles would obsessively compare my charts to all the submitted ones.  I like stalking other VIP members more because I can see there trends better than just the current and past cycle.

    I waited for a facebook promo, it's been "worth" the $25 as a learning tool

    I have the VIP membership for this reason. DH wanted me to get it, actually, so that we could track everything and I wasn't left second-guessing all the time. I'm glad I have it, but there are still some features that I don't use.

  • I avoid getting it only because of how obsessive I can get with it. 

    The info I have is more then sufficient for me with the basic membership.

  • I have thought about getting it but keep feeling like I'm going to get pregnant "this cycle" and don't want to waste the money! Maybe I should buy it though. Doesn't it always seem to work out that way?

    I'm glad you asked this question! I have been wondering if it's worth it.
