I can just be so impatient sometimes that if I would have waited 2 days I wouldn't have had to pay for it! At least it's there for when I need it again. Not a total loss! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-548509 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 11:49:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 548509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: I agree that it would aid TWW craziness, and I didn't need any help in that department, thanks. The pregnancy points thing was ridiculous. </p> <p>@.twist.: Wouldn't you rather have paid for it, then gotten your BFP, than not getting your BFP yet and getting your money's worth? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-548488 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 11:41:24 +0000 LazyLightning 548488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I paid! I really liked their advanced features like the pregnancy predictor and all that. It seemed worth it to me. $45 a year is only like $3.50 or $4 a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-548355 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 10:45:53 +0000 .twist. 548355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was positive I was going to be a roll over and decided last minute to pay for it. Then found out I was pregnant. Damn! So, now my account is on hold and I'll use it for a while after I get my cycles back. So annoyed at myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-548316 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 10:32:37 +0000 mrs. bird 548316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the free version, I don't think I'd pay $45 to upgrade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-548306 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 10:30:18 +0000 MaisyMay 548306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I paid for it, but not the full price. I found a special where it was $17 for the year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-548281 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 10:22:17 +0000 Mrs.Someone 548281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: @Sugar.Biscuit: I was most un-sold on it when someone mentioned that if you get to the day AF is expected, it automatically puts you past the "you're likely pregnant" points number! Such a bad design on that one... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-548088 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 08:27:31 +0000 Happygal 548088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: I was the worst with FF my first cycle TTC. "Oh gosh, my points went up by 10; I must be pregnant!" There's some strange thing called the "Sign Cloud" (still not sure what that is), and you can compare your chart to others (not sure if that's a VIP or standard feature). I deliberately limited my time on FF during this TWW, which made things much, much better. </p> <p>The pregnancy monitor, a VIP feature, has this: intercourse timing, total # of temperatures above cover line, top pregnancy signs, pregnancy test probability (when to test), spotting factor, early pregnancy signs, possible due date, and summary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-548059 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 08:05:42 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 548059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: oh my gosh I would go crazy with baby points. I symptom spot enough I don't need another entity doing it for me. Now that time temping I like being able to see my chart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-548022 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 07:40:15 +0000 Happygal 548022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Yes--it's called "early pregnancy signs estimator." It takes the symptoms you punch in and gives them points based on others charts and pregnancy. So if you say you're gassy, your points that you might be pregnant go up! It totally feeds into the TWW craze. </p> <p>I paid for it, but not the full $45. I like just knowing I have access to everything b/c if there's anything I can make easier in this process, I'll take it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-548016 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 07:31:31 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 548016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: pregnancy points? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-547908 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 00:36:43 +0000 Mrs.Someone 547908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gotten the free trial a few times, but I feel like it aids in symptom spotting (and the "pregnancy points" thing is absurd) so I'd rather not have it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-547893 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 00:10:13 +0000 808love 547893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forgot what I got with the paid membership but I did and it totally worked!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-547814 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 22:24:46 +0000 Shutterbug 547814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I paid for like, a 3 month subscription or something, but once it ran out I didn't renew it. The only thing I liked was that it put the DPO on your chart, and you could share more than 2 charts on your homepage. Oh, and it would tell you every cycle what your EDD would be. Fun stuff, but not worth the $$ IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-547790 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 22:13:05 +0000 Grace 547790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I paid, but there was (is?) a code you can get if you like it on Facebook. It was only $20. I don't think it's worth $45. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-547758 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 21:59:11 +0000 CarrieLouWho 547758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I paid but we had been TTC for a while and I love charts and graphs :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-547744 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 21:54:28 +0000 mrsmacandcheese 547744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I paid for it... I honestly can't really remember why! I guess I was in a frantic pre-TTC excitement and so I went out and bought a bunch of books and the FF membership. I vaguely recall having some kind of Facebook discount, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-547690 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 21:28:23 +0000 lemondrop 547690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did after a few months of TTC, and was happy I did since it took longer for us- I was happy to take all the help I could get at that point. Their forums were pretty good too. If we don't have any luck in the next month or so, I think I'll pay for it again for planning #2. They usually have a discount on their facebook page too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-547674 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 21:16:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 547674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not, because my chart was fairly easy to read anyway. If it had been more complicated and harder to figure out O, I might have been more tempted, but I really just wanted to see when I Oed and I could tell that with the basic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-fertility-friend#post-547662 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 21:10:02 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 547662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the basic membership. If it worth it to pay the $45 for a year of the VIP membership? Why or why not? </p>
