Any Fertility Friend users?

My free trial for VIP is about to expire.. if I don't renew, I will go back down to basic. I looked at the features of both, and I honestly don't know if it's worth it to do VIP. It seems like it, but I was curious if anyone else has used basic and/or both and could tell me if it's worth buying. It's only $45 for a year, which is not bad anyway. But hey, no sense in spending $45 if I don't have to!
TIA!

I buy the VIP because I like having the extra analytical tools where I can compare previous charts and data.

You could go back down to the basic and if you start to feel like you miss the other tools, purchase the VIP again in a month or two...

I use the basic, and it's fine for me. I think if my cycles were wonkier or if I was TTC, I might upgrade, but I get so many free trials of the upgraded FF, and I don't notice that they're especially helpful for me.

I didn't use the VIP -- I didn't find it useful enough to pay for it, even when TTC.

I have to say, that I really love the software that comes with TCOYF. I think it was $40 and you get to keep it permanately -- none of this yearly stuff. The book should come with a free trial, or you can download a free trial. I liked it so much I paid for it.

I used the TCOYF software for analytical things and cycle predictors, etc. And I used FF just to post online or to record it during the day while I was at work and did not have access to my TCOYF software.

FYI, Lilly is an app with a one-time fee and I REALLY liked it when I used STM.

TCOYF software is only good for PC's. Keep that in mind. I have a Mac and can only use their online site and it's SO slow and buggy.

I use VIP FF. I've only been charting for nearly a year and wanted to have all the features until I was completely comfortable.
TCOYF website wouldn't show me my history for more than 6 cycles. (Not sure if it's changed or not)

I agree that their website is awful. I gave up trying to use their website after about 2 days. FF website is much better than TCOYF's website.

I didn't know anyone still used a MAC these days ;) j/k

LOL. I love our macbook so much. We have a PC too, but it rarely gets used

mica178 · September 2011

I'm a Mac person too, otherwise, I would have tried out TCOYF's website.
