Fertility Friend or Countdown to Pregnancy?

[~Hope~]

Hope I'm ok posting this question here - couldn't think where else to put it!

I've been TTC now for 27 cycles and for most of that time I've been using Fertility Friend to track my BBT. I remember when I was first debating whether to buy an annual subscription or not and now it's due for renewal the second time!

I noticed a few Countdown to Pregnancy tickers around here so I just went over to investigate and it looks like the same functions as FF but for free.

Of course I now have 27 cycles stored on FF which I can't transfer over (I BBT in C and it's just taken me 20 minutes to transfer over my current cycle data as I had to manually adjust the date to F!)

I was wondering whether it's worth letting my FF expire and using Countdown to Pregnancy instead. Has anyone else used both? Do you use CTP and recommend it?

The one thing I do like about FF is that it has that time adjuster - because Im not very good at waking up at the same time every day!

I didn't know Countdown to Pregnancy has charting already. I still have almost a whole year paid up on FF, but basically just got it because they ran a facebook promotion some time ago and it was really cheap. But I don't think paid account on FF is so much more awesome than the basic one. They use very plain formula in time adjuster, so you don't really need it. For the most part they just assume your temp increases by 0.1C with every extra hour you sleep.

On CtP you can't seem to chart in Celsius yet, so you'll need to be converting every temp to Fahrenheit. That would put me off. I'm sure they're still working on adding new features though, the charting application is very new there.

Thanks Soili - you're probably right on the temp adjuster being pretty easy to replicate manually. The fact that I could use C on CtP put me off at first but it only takes a second to convert it on their website - so I could do that in exchange for saving the $$
