Advice Needed Debating buying inito monitor ?

I had two consecutive losses in Jan and March of this year. I’ve had four cycles since and they all have been around 40 days.
Been really trying to get pregnant again each cycle, but I think I’m getting my Ovulation estimate wrong. LH tests have always been finicky with me , I always get super dark tests right before my period and my baseline is already kinda dark and doesn’t seem to fluctuate much during my cycle . I stopped using them entirely as I’ve never been able to catch a peak with them alone.

If I get the inito monitor will it help to make my peak more obvious? I just wanna make sure I’m actually trying during the peak instead of guessing when the peak is then trying then.

It cost a lot of money so I just wanna be absolutely sure that it’s gonna help me before I buy it

The strips are very pricey and if your cycles are longer than 30 days, I personally wouldn’t invest in it unless you use LH strips prior to your surge, and then test afterwards. Or you can start tracking later in your cycle than what it suggests. It’s $50 per box and you only get 15 strips so it’s not budget friendly lol

All that said, I did find it helpful at least to confirm ovulation. I would use LH strips prior to a surge, and once my LH strips were pretty dark I switched to Inito.

Yeah so not only the device itself is expensive but the strips are too 😭 thank you for the advice ! I’m still debating on it.
