NEW TO TTC...help 🤦🏻‍♀️

So me and my hubby have decided to start trying this month. I’m 23 with no health issues besides anxiety that I take meds for. But I’ve really tried to cope in other ways because I hate medications. He’s 26. Neither have children. But My Period is anywhere from 28-32 days average. I’ve been doing a bunch of research on ways to increase pregnancy chances! Here’s what I’ve grasped:

I’ve just started to use OPKs. Never have used them. I bought the pregmate brand that had a bunch of LH and HCG test. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ we shall see. I have no earthly idea when I ovulate or if I’m ovulating, so I’ve already started testing on like cycle day 8 🤦🏻‍♀️ just to see how my body works.

I bought some preseed. I don’t have an issue with dryness or anything, but some people swear by it, and I’ll take all my chances. Any tips on this? I feel so awkward because sex has always been fun for me and hubby, but I’m worried it’s going to feel forced or like a chore now...and trying to use this like? You’re supposed to do the deed within like 30 minutes of application. Ummm 👀👀 were spontaneous. What do I say? Hold on let me go shoot my preseed up my cooch? 🙄

And I’ve started taken a prenatal vitamin that’s got folate and DHA in it. Cut caffeine completely about 2 months ago, and am trying to eat healthier. And I don’t smoke or drink.

Am I missing anything? Any tips would be appreciated. I don’t know how to bbt. Don’t have a thermometer.
