Cycle tracking recommendations

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to start my TTC Journey again in June but want to start tracking my cycles again now following my mc in Feb. What free apps and ovulation strips would you recommend? I’m a complete newbie at this and don’t have much free time to do the research. Thanks in advance x

Why second child ? 🤣

What’s the reasons for having another baby ? Curious to know, I have a three old baby and it’s so much work …. Also it sounds bad but I miss my old life and the fact that I cannot travel at the moment! Nope it’s different to travel without a baby. I want to wait 3,5 years for another baby.
