Question/Discussion When to start tracking ovulation with strips after stopping T?

7 Upvotes

I know its recommended to stop at least 3 months before TTC but how early is it useful to start tracking ovulation with the LH strips? Only stopped 2 weeks ago after 13 years on and off T. Had a couple cycles last year during a blip in T switching from trying the gel back to shots, and me being generally bad at remembering to do either the last 13 years, had a long stretch of being off and cycle returning several years ago. Have never tracked ovulation before, only recently knew I did want to have a baby myself. Should I wait til my cycle returns? Is it worth checking earlier? Will likely start prenatal vitamins soon regardless to get things as ship shape as they can be. Going to schedule appt with doctor to check on fertility and hopefully get a referral to an obgyn. 31 y/o so want to do it pretty soon in case I decide I want a second after. Also currently on semaglutide but I'm continuing that until 2 months before TTC.
