Fertility Friend has this funny little "Early Pregnancy Signs Estimator" that gives you points out of 100 depending on how likely it thinks you are pregnant. FF claims that if you have 80 points or more, you are 70% more likely to be pregnant.
Those of you who used FF before becoming pregnant, was the Early Pregnancy Signs Estimator at all accurate for you?
TWW ladies, how many points is FF currently giving you? I am on 7DPO and I have 22 pts.

Sorry to burst the bubble a bit, but I think this feature is really disappointing and misleading. Someone told me that if you get past your AF date the points automatically go over 80. And I feel its easy to convince yourself to symptom spot to get more points... Its one of the main reasons that I never paid for VIP.

@Mrs.Someone: haha I don't really have any faith in it, I was just curious if it was ever right for anyone on HB. 
FF does give you the option to hide it too.

@pui: OK, good It lead to me getting over-excited the one month I had it and of course it made the BFN even worse!

I love FF, but my bfp had far fewer "points" than most of my bfn cycles. I stopped putting stock in them after getting overly excited for several cycles and getting disappointed.
I have not renewed my VIP subscription yet while trying for #2. It was nice while learning all about TTC, but I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on my cycles this time around.

i don't have the upgraded FF & can use the pregnancy monitor part with the points. still in TWW & haven't been great about adding every lil thing, but i'm at 59pts, don't know if i'm pregnant yet =)

I forgot to look! I loved seeing the points go up, and every time AF was late, it went over 80, so I guess when it was finally a positive, I never thought of looking. And now the VIP part has expired, so I can't check.

I hate to say it, but eventually I hid this and in my BFP cycle even though I still enter my positive betas it never gave me more than 50%. I'm sure it's because I never kept track of any symptoms!

Haaahhhaa, like, 13 points with my BFP... My negative ones had like, 78.

I looked at this my first cycle and thought that I had to be pregnant. I now ignore it. In fact, I don't even enter symptoms on FF, although I keep my own informal log that actually helps me from symptom spotting. I think during the TWW, FF is not your friend.
