When did you start using ovulating test strips?

Question

Hi fellow TTCers, I’m hoping for some advice. We have been trying for 6 months, well, 7 days from now, if I get my period, it will officially be 6 months. I have been relying on the app to tell me when I’m most fertile. Did the test strips make a difference for you? I was trying to keep it simple, just lots of sex and hoping for the best, but I know the app is just an estimate. So maybe I’m ready to try something else? What worked for you? 
Thanks!
