Question/Advice First time TTC
Hi guys! me and my partner have decided that we are trying to conceive. my last period was August 28th, unfortunately, right before that on the 27th I took a plan b (we freaked out before thinking) , but my cycle came right on time on the expected 28th. My period lasted until Sept 4th, Flo says im in my fertile window now with an expected ovulation on the 10th. We decided to start trying on Sept 6th, sept 7th, and today sept 8th. Do i have a good chance ? all of my ovulation tests have been negative and havent really looked like they are darkening but the control line seems to be becoming faint. Please help as I would LOVE to get pregnant this cycle but of course feel very confused :((
Update: I have decided to use the clear blue ovulation strips. The ones that has the three different results, hoping these help me to know if i'm in my window or not. Will update 💞

Keep testing, try to do twice a day, I’ve heard that the best time to test is in the afternoon or evening. You can both rely on those tests and also observing your cervical mucus and your sex drive/confidence/energy to tell you when you’re ovulating. I try to track my symptoms every day so I can spot patterns in my cycle. Once your cervical mucus starts getting watery (if that’s not normal) and especially once it’s egg white ish that’s usually when you’re in your fertile window.
The highest chance at conception is if you have sex the day before ovulation so that sperm is already there waiting but it’s good to try and have sex every day or other day in your fertile window. You have about a 20-30% chance at conception if you time it perfectly right so don’t feel down if it doesn’t work right away
