TTC Advice for Next Month?

Angel

Been off BC Since August TTC last month used ovulation tests and this month my period took forever to come down. It finally did and omg this is the worst period I have ever had. Ovulation test had me ovulating super soon last month after my period was over. I couldn't believe I was already ovulating so we started trying. Any tips for next month besides ovulation tests? And this period omg it's sooo bad 😕. My hormones are all over the place and I'm in a lot of pain. Cramps that lasted for days before my time of the month came and now they are awful. Like the worst cramps I have ever had before.
