Fertility Junk

OKay...if hubby and I are not pregnant I want to start monitoring when I ovulate so we can actually TRY to get pregnant....however I need some help.  I know nothing at all except this...

You can do CM testing...(this isnt going to work for me)
Temp Charting ...( possibly may work but prob not my thing)

I know there are actual monitors you can buy and then I have seen some sticks that look like pregnancy test.  Are they to be used together or can you just buy sticks?  What is a good monitor that is not toooo expensive.  When do I start tracking?  I am sure there are other questions I will think of but this is it for now.  Thanks ladies!

I bought the test strips (Clearblue, I think) and they were about $12 for a weeks worth. They worked really well for me, I got pregnant that month. I wasn't fond of temp charting either.

I also used the clearblue easy fertility monitor and was pregnant the first month using it.  We had only tried for 3 months before though....but I found that we were "stopping" too soon before....I was ovulating a full 5 days after what all the online calendars said

Hey girl i also use clearblue fertility monitor.its a little expensive,basically you press button day one of your cycle,each day you switch on first thing it has 3 boxs,low fertility,high,and peak which shows an egg.so each day same time switch it on,till it knows your cycle it will ask prob from day 6 you wee on stick put in monitor it reads and tells you whether you fertile,you need to buy sticks each month,good thing with these monitors it gives you extra fertile days,google check it out clearblue fertility monitor.

I honestly knew nothing about when I ovulated and bought them for the heck of it. Luckily, I ovualted 4 days into the pack....since you don't know when and your cycles are long, you might need another pack or two.

what days are you supposed to use them  Everyday or certain week of the month.  I have no idea when I ovulate but I do have very long cycles.  41 days last cycle.  Last pregnancy I got pregnant while on my period.  Do you think I should do them everyday the first month?
