Feeling defeated

Ladies, I’m feeling defeated and don’t really know where else to turn to. My husband and i have been TTC for 3 months now, we haven’t been trying as in ovulation test every day, legs in the air, preseed, trying trying. But we haven’t been preventing. I have been logging cycles and we’ve been having sex everyday leading up to ovulation and even a day or two after. I’m 5 days before starting my cycle, and decided to take a test just to see if this month was it! The test was negative. We didn’t want to make TTC a huge thing, just more of an enjoy the process type deal. Should i start taking ovulation tests and try to help out the process a bit or just keep doing what I’m doing?
