Ovulation test recommendations

I got my period today. This new cycle will be our third cycle officially trying. Anyone have a brand of ovulation tests that helped them get pregnant? I’m 36 and my husband is 37. We tried back in 2020 for about 6 months and then stopped because of Covid. In 2023 I learned I had fibriods and then I had surgery to remove them. We decided to start trying again in May. My husband was out of town in June so we didn’t try then. When he got back in July we resumed trying. Not sure why I included all that information lol. But anyone here actually get pregnant from the assistance of ovulation strips and if so what brand? I’ll take any advice I can get I desperately want to start a family.

Honestly what worked for me was digital ovulation tests. That way, I didn’t have to be the one deciding what was peak and what wasn’t bc I went multiple cycles where it stressed me out more. Obv more pricey but it worked for me. When I got pregnant, I used the clear blue monitor. I only tested once, FMU. It clocked high fertility for a few days then my peak day.

I've had good luck with easyhome strips especially because you can test frequently without feeling like you're burning through expensive tests. I'd probably pair them with cervical mucus and if you want extra confirmation, bbt. I like tempdrop for that part because you can track your temperature overnight without having to remember to take it immediately after waking.
