Ttc advice

This was our first month ttc and I was a few days late. I got so excited took a test and it was negative. A couple hours later I went to the bathroom and got my period. I am so sad and I feel even more awful because my husband was so excited and had a feeling I was pregnant. I just need some advice on what y'all did to conceive. I've cut back on alcohol, caffeine, stopped taking bc back in November, taking prenatals for a few months already. I only used the app to track my ovulation not sure if I should but the strips to get a more accurate idea of my ovulation window. We were also recommended trying a lube that was supposed to help.
