VIP vs free? Do I really need the spiffy stuff? I'm kinda lazy and thought I might, but not sure if I wanna pay up. My trial is almost over for the free 30 days.... What to do, what to do?
The regular version is just fine. I like when I randomly get 30 days free of VIP cuz it makes the charts and calendars prettier. Plus there some other things you can do. But really, not necessary at all.
I just purchased the VIP version this cycle. I am only 4 days in but I like it so far. I got a code from their twitter feed and it was 24.99 for the year.
The first day May 2007 The yes day April 2012 The best day Nov 2013
I think ill end up watching for a deal. I can't justify paying $45 for it. But the extra features are nice since I'm new. I'll just have to apply my brain more with out it now!
I bought it when there was a special as well. I wouldn't pay full price but really like it at the discounted price!

I did not have ff vip when ttc #1. This time I got the year membership. I am liking it but would not pay full price. I used the fb discount, thanks to the ladies on here

I bought it after my loss to feel like I was doing something. But it's definitely not necessary. At the moment though, I'm enjoying being able to record symptoms so I can figure out what is and isn't normal for me.
^this is me too, I don't need it but it is easier to keep track of things with VIP. But the pregnancy monitor feature is a giant tease
Yes it is!!! Got my hopes up the first time I saw it:( 80 pts my ass

I splurged and paid the $45 for it. Do I need it? No. Do I like it? Absolutely. I didn't know they ran specials on it until a week after I bought it. Stupid me!
My free trial just ended and I went the first couple weeks of this cycle on the regular version. My ovulation date was a week earlier than I was anticipating, so I finally just broke down and paid for the VIP. I am in the same boat with @RN1175 and figure the extra info is helpful being new to charting.
FWIW, you don't have to decide before your trial ends, you can see if you like the regular version before spending the money. It gives you plenty of opportunities to upgrade, or use a promo.
I just bought it with the twitter discount. I like it better than the free version.
But yes, the pregnancy monitor is evil. It spent the last two weeks begging me to POAS because FF thought I had ovulated. FF was wrong ( I still peed on a few sticks, though, just in case).
I bought it when I was TTC my DD, and just bought it again. I LOVED it. I liked keying in symptoms and having FF tell me what my "chances of being pg" are. It gave me a %, and it was just fun. I say...it's $10. Not a huge loss financially, and if you do get a BFP, it's interesting to go back and look at your chart and see what symptoms you had. GL!
I bought the VIP when there was a deal and it's been fun to use. It does feed the crazy though, so I wonder if I really even needed those extra features.
I love it. The interpretations they give you alone makes it worth the money. It really helped me during the cycle I got my last BFP because I bled two days before my positive HPT and thought it was my period. My OB loved that I had all of the detailed information printed out.
They have one when you go to pay for it, but they keep saying "valid until tomorrow". For days. I was thinking it wasn't an actual special. Maybe it is just one they've been running since I started.
I got it on the deal when I first stated ttc. I didn't renew it after the year and won't likely again when I go back to charting. It was fun to obsess over at the beginning, but it's not a necessity.
