HELP!!! Inconsistent periods and ovulation strips????

Hi Glow Ladies,

I’ve been TTC for almost a year now (total bummer, and I’m 32 years old 😭). My husband and I decided to be more casual about it and just use the apps ovulation dates. But we want to get more serious about conceiving now.

My periods have always been inconsistent every month. It will come 1-3 days after projected date on app. And my cycles range from 21-28 days.

I’ve just purchased the ovulation strips from amazon. To the ladies who have the same inconsistency, has the strips helped? Do they work?

My best friend just got pregnant and her and her husband only tried once. They’re blessed I suppose. Im happy for them, but feel miserable considering we’ve been trying for almost a year now.

I have hope, but just feeling a bit down and self conscious right now. Need some hope from others and support.

Someone please respond and share your struggles and experience with me...

My questions are:

1. Do ovulation strips work? Did you conceive? How long did it take?

2. Inconsistent periods, have you all been successful with conceiving?

3. Please feel free to comment

Thank you in advance! Baby dust to all you wonderful ladies! ✨✨✨
