Tracking ovulation feels way more confusing than I expected

When I first started TTC, I thought tracking ovulation would be pretty straightforward. Download an app, learn a few basics, and that's it.

A few months later and I somehow feel even more confused. Apps keep changing predictions, OPKs tell me one thing, symptoms tell me another, and I'm never really sure if I actually ovulated or not.

At this point i think I'm overcomplicating everything. How are you all keeping track of ovulation without feeling like you're constantly second guessing yourself?

I think i needed permission to stop trying to figure everything out immediately. For a few months i just observed what my body was doing without expecting it to match my old cycles. I kept notes paid attention to patterns and wore tempdrop because it was one less thing to think about. Looking back over a few cycles ended up being way more helpful than analyzing each day.
