Love the graphics!

I have nothing to add, except that I thought the bedroom graphic was awesome. Good luck!

that's 24-36 hours before, not 24-26.

As I understand it, you get the smiley face when the LH surge happens, which is before ovulation by 24-26 hours. Just because the little smiley face is gone isn't an indicator that your have ovulated. I understand the only real way (besides and ultrasound) to tell if you have ovulated is to track your temperature. Your temp spikes after you O.

I think your graphic is cute, sort of like the beginning of the movie "Look Who's Talking".

The graphics are kind of funny. They show your problem right there; your egg is running from the sperm!

You're smart to test twice a day. If you do that, I think it makes sense to expect to ovulate in the next 36-48 hours. People who are only testing once every 24 hours might get their first positive 24 hours before they ovulate because they "missed" the first possible positive 12 hours earlier.

My eyes! They burn!

What's with the graphics?

Sex after you've ovulated is pretty useless. Assume you will ovulate in 24-36 hours after you get the first positive. Aim to have sperm in there before ovulation. Hopefully you will find your cycles are regular and you can plan a 2-3 day window to have sex leading up to ovulation.

I need help understanding the use of OPK's and time of ovulation.

Here's my scenario:
Using Clear Blue easy OPK

Sunday - 7pm OPK, negative (empty circle)
Monday - 6am negative OP stick (empty circle) Had sex in am.
Monday - 7:21pm positive OP stick Husband wasn't up to evening sex. :
Tuesday -5:17pm positive OP stick Husband still wasn't up to evening sex.
Wednesday 4:30AM Husband finally down for sex.
Wednesday 6:00am negative OP stick (empty circle)

Currently, (like right now at this moment (1:52pm) I am still having my usual little pangs I get when I ovulate.

So what I want to know:
1. Do you only get the the when ovulation is coming (like 24-36 hours it talks about)?
2. When the egg has dropped do you still get a smiley face?
3. Can I assume that the empty circle (negative stick) means ovulation is over? --or the egg has just dropped and it will be there waiting for about 24 hours for fertilization?

Should I have sex again tonight?
