    using FF n using VIP benefits

    ok the end of my trial on FF is coming up and i was just wondering how many of you didnt bother renewing the VIP benefits n just used the basic 1?

    Wat do we actually lose when the VIP trial runs out.

    im just trying to decide wat to do

    I never bothered with going VIP so I'm really not sure lol

    It still works fine but I think there things like temperature adjustments if you take it later than normal and other options to add down the bottom (you know the colour coded thingys).

    I have a VIP membership so I can use the forums there. I was using those a long time before I found BB and have friends there I don't want to lose touch with. I don't think I'd bother with the VIP membership for just the extra charting functions.

    I think with VIP doesnt it pin point your O day as well? Or does it do that without VIP as well? I have VIP so not sure what id miss out on if i cancelled it...

    I have FF w/o vip, and it pinpoints my o day and records my symptoms, etc. It does not predict fertile period based on previous cycles, and does not adjust for temps taken under "unusual" circumstances (I can ask it to disregard that temp though) and I cannot access the forum for help and discussion. However, I can get pretty much any question answered here on BB, and I think a regular membership gives all the info I need.
    You could let yours expire and see how it goes for a month or two, and then decide.

    its the same as, and does everything you get when you join up for the free trial month (i think its a month) then you loose a lot of the functions. like some forum use, and other stuff i cant remember. just see what its like when you finish your trial and then decide. i got the membership for 3 months and i liked having it. you can also ask for help from the experts in the forum section which is great.

    hey there lozza,

    i had it w/o and found it to be AOK.

    I now have VIP as this TTC thing is turning out to be yet again a long journey so decided to upgrade.

    when you lose VIP you lose the fertility monitor, early pregnancy signs estimator and the ability to search for charts that resemble yours. (you can still do chart searches, but they are not based on a selection of 'signs' that you have inputted).

    my advice would be to try without first and see how you go and see if you miss it. i also waited until FF had a good deal on membership and took it up then.
