ovulation test advice

Leanne
Hello, I've recently started ttc, never in my life have I used an ovulation test, I, just wondering if people really do recommend then and if they've helped anyone, also which brands are the best. 😍
I've got two children, unplanned and this time we really want our little bundle of joy to be planned, 3months unprotected so far, no glimmer 😫xxx
