how to tell when your ovulating

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for about 9 months now. I have downloaded two different apps to track my period and ovulation, but the both give my different dates if when Im ovulating. Does anyone have suggestions/recommendations of ways to know when your ovulating? I know they make the ovulationa kits but is there any other way to know?  Thanks!

The ovulation kits would be your best bet, as the calendars and apps are basically just telling you when you're most likely to ovulate based on your cycle length. But, if you don't really want to do the tests, I would just go start trying a few days before the ovulation date on the first app, and continue a day or two past the ovulation date on the second app. Also keep an eye out for stretchy, clear cervical mucus (looks like eggwhite). That's fertile cervical mucus and tells you you're getting closer to ovulation. Best of luck!
