How long did your track before trying?

I've just started tracking my ovulation this week. My partner and I have a sperm donor (lesbian couple) but it takes 6+ months per state regulations before we can use the direct donation sperm. In the meantime, we are planning on trying The Stork OTC a few times. According to Glow I'll be ovulating around the 20th of Jan. Should we wait a couple more months for me to get a better handle on my tracking before trying? I want to be successful quickly, and since we don't have an unlimited amount of sperm and unlimited tries, I want to be smart about this. So, how long did you track before TTC? Thanks!
