TTC After a Loss

Do you pay for VIP status for FF?

I've been toying with the idea of spending the money for VIP status for Fertility Friend. Do any of you ladies pay for it and love it? Or regret it? Is there a particular feature of VIP that you couldn't live without? I'm just trying to get the pros and cons, I suppose. Any FF rants, raves, or recommendations are welcome and appreciated!

  • I have just recently been wondering the same thing as my 'free vip trial' has just ended!  Thank you for asking this question, @cjs260 !

  • I bought it when I signed up (they had a $25 special for the year or something).  Since I've always had it, I'm not sure what features are the VIP version and what are not...
  • Yep, if I was TTC, I paid for VIP. Not TTC I let it lapse and since I wasn't using it I didn't know the difference. Never paid more than $30, always got on sale/special. 


  • Oh, funny I was going to ask this same question. I think if you go to their Facebook page, you can still get the $25 for a year special.

  • I pay for VIP - but I got it on a sale - something like $25-30 for the year. 

    Here is a link to the membership comparison - the features - https://www.fertilityfriend.com/comparison.html and a chart comparison - https://www.fertilityfriend.com/comparison.html

    I like the fully featured calendar - with predicted ovulation days - if I'm here for a few more months without a BFP this will get more accurate. The cycle stats are only based on a few cycles right now even though I manually entered the cycle we got a BFP and the partial one before the BFP. I like the detailed analysis feature - I spent a lot of time looking at that last month. I really like the chart overlay - but that was also my symptom spotting last cycle...

    And there are some features that are nice but aren't essential - like DPO written on the chart. 

    It could also be that the app with VIP features feeds my obsessing over TTC...

  • I was also thinking this! Thank you for asking OP!
  • I bought it on a deal like others. I like being able to put all the specifics and figure out what my bodies trends are. For example. I was able to figure out that I generally have a skin break out right after AF.

  • I decided against it. I still get the basics like predicted fertile days. I didn't find the analysis or chart overlays helped.
  • Thanks for asking this.  Was wondering the same as my trial expires in ten days.  I looked at the comparisons and think I will pay for full access as it will put the type a personality in me at ease a little more.

    I'm slow to the party here but FF also has coupon codes they post on their twitter occasionally for free days/discounts. 

    ETA: I did pay for VIP and I think it was worth every penny. Like others have said I think I got it on a sale. I'm fairly sure I didn't pay full price for it. But still.

  • I only downloaded ff recently (within 3-4 weeks) I was using other apps. Apparently when I downloaded it I was given a free VIP membership? I didn't realize until I noticed up top that it said my VIP runs out in x amount of days. Unless I somehow inadvertently selected VIP when I signed up (I guess I'll know on my phone bill).

    With that said I'll check back in a couple of days when it runs out. Not having used it in standard mode I'm sure I'll have opinions when certain options are gone.
