The Best Products to get Pregnant Quickly
So- when we first started trying and didn't get pregnant the first month, I started using ovulation strips the next month. I was determined to get pregnant as quickly as I possibly could! I'll share the products I used below. I also decided to test my hormones *just in case* :)

The first ovulation strips I used were the Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Tests. I loved how easy these were to read. There is a smiley face icon that will show up and flash after taking the test on your fertile days, and on your most fertile day, the smiley won't flash it'll be solid.
The Clearblue got sort of expensive (if you buy the big box) so after a month or 2 I switched over to Proov. Apart from cost, the main reason I switched was for the ovulation confirmation strips that came in the Proov box set I ordered. These tests were a little harder to read (you have to go by the darkness of a line as opposed to a smiley face icon) but using the app and the card they include, made it work just fine for me. These are what we were using when I actually got pregnant. I liked using the ovulation confirmation strips because that was one less thing to worry about in regards to if my body was doing what it was supposed to be doing or not.
One other product I used (in my mild to moderate panic *helllloooo control freak*) was the Modern Fertility Hormone Test. This is a convenient at home test used to check hormone levels. It's just a quick finger prick, then you add your blood to the included cards. Once they've dried you mail them off in the enclosed mailer and wait for your results! I think mine came in about 2 weeks. They showed normal levels so that was one more thing that helped with peace of mind. I actually took this test while at the beach with my family. See pics below! ***trigger warning blood*** It was easier than I thought it would be to prick myself, but I DID have to stand there and psych myself up for a few seconds lol! My mantra was "You can do hard things!!!!"
Hopefully this is helpful for someone! Drop your questions below. :)
TTYL!
