I have a LadyComp, and we knew just fine when to time intercourse to conceive without the extra BabyComp functions. Just have sex on the red light days! 
For people with fertility issues, perhaps the BabyComp might be better, but for the vast majority of us run-of-the-mill people, I think the LadyComp is sufficient. As for costā¦I bought one of the refurbished ones! It works just as well and costs a lot less! Got mine @ naturalmethods.com.
As for what to say to the OPās questionā¦ I have struggled so mightily with this issue myself. Really, I can tell you the truth, from my own experienceā¦ I doubt anything you say will make much of a difference. When I was caught in my own maelstrom, I searched everywhere for opinions, from the strictest NFP advocates to the most liberal encouragement of birth control and sterilization. (That can be scaryā¦reading sites like that, you realize you are looking at the VERY slippery slope Paul VI talked about. Not one site about birth control seemed to be able to stay away from abortion and its advocacy!
) What I was looking for was something that would change my FEELINGS. All that fear and uncertainty, all the family pressure that said we should not have another child. All the money worries, all the concern of being stretched too thin among our children to properly meet their needs. And you know what? Nothing changed that for me until God got through. And He did, in very dramatic fashion, very powerfully, and leaving me in no doubt as to what He wanted from me at this time. I was literally days away from a procedure to occlude my fallopian tubes when it happened. (I am very stubborn, and God tends to have to use dramatic and drastic measures when he wants to get through my thick skull. I am so blessed that He tries so hard with me.) I just thought of that earlier today and realized that I wouldnāt have my little Victoria, who is living and growing in my womb right now, peacefully kicking me, never realizing I almost didnāt allow her to exist. It stabbed my heart. One of the wisest things I did hear from someone, that really did make me think, was that people never regret the children they have, only the ones they didnāt. I think a PP made that point with her own sterilization story.
While I am not saying that you should not offer an opinion, especially when asked, I am saying realize that your opinion may not make any difference. Humans are so ruled by our emotions that sometimes we just canāt get out from under them. I know thatās where I was.
