Ovulation confusion!!

Elizabeth
Ok so I've been using the "Answer" brand test strips for the last 6months and according to them I never ovulated so this month I bought the clearblue digital tests and on Saturday the 2nd and Sunday the 3rd I started testing and it had just the circle no smiley face so not ovulating, then on the 4th it had a flashing smiley face and same with the 5th, 6th, and today so my question is how long does this flashing smiley last til I get the smiley face that doesn't flash which means I'm peaking? When would I ovulate? Sorry I got over excited and used 2tests everyday and ran out late late last night which was really early morning. Please someone gv me some advice its been 2yrs of trying and this last yr of really actively trying and I'm losing hope!!!
