You just need to do it today and tomorrow. The time you do it today doesn't matter but tomorrow try to wait 24 hours after the time you do it today. Good luck!

Detecting your LH surge means you may ovulate sometime in the next 36 hours. Could be today, could be 2 days from now. Charting your temps really helps because you can continue to have sex until you see your temp rise and stay up...this would indicate ovulation.
The only way for you to know if you are ovulating is to take your basal body temp each morn, same time and before you get up. You should see a pattern in temps that leads up to and after ovulation. You can get the basal thermometer at Wal-Mart for about 8 dollars. I use a wonderful FREE website called Fertilityfriend.com...it graphs your temps for you, keeps track of your fertility signs, tells you when you ovulate and also tells you if there is an implantation dip in your temps. You can also use Ovulation prediction kits, but they only measure your LH surge and give you a ball park time for ovulation...they do not pin point it. Oh, and it is possible to be ovulating while you do not have your period, just like it is possible to have a period and not ovulate.

You LH serge means simply that you will ovulate in the next 36 hours. You could be ovulating right now as you read this!
The sooner you have intercourse the better your chances are. Sperm can live up to 4 to 5 days so you do not have to worry about it not surviving until the egg is in the right location.
You can wait till this afternoon but I wouldn't put it off for too long. It is best to have intercourse before you ovulate as opposed to after ovulation has occurred.
Good Luck!

When you get a positive that means you are about to ovulate. You may not ovulate for 24-36 hours. You should be fine waiting till this afternoon and tomorrow. Just make sure you have sex today and tomorrow and even the next day.
Good LUck!

most kits recommend that you have sex within 12 hours of detecting your surge and for the following 3 days!! good Luck
