which day is day one?

When counting from the day of ovulation do you count that day--ovulation day-- as day one or the next day?

Re: which day is day one?

I like to count the days post LH (surge). So, if she was about 2.0 on Monday, then Tues. is day 1 - post LH. Then breed on days 3 & 5 or 4 & 6 post LH. (This would be assuming that she reached 5.0 with no problem). If I was trying to figure the days of ovualation, I would do the same. If she was about 5.0 on Wed, then Thurs is day 1 after ovulation. If you know what time (approx) she was 5.0 - I suppose you could count the hours from 5.0. As - 5.0 on Wed 7AM - then 48 hours after ovulation would be Friday AM. (approx)

If chilled/shipped then breed Sat & Mon or if you are nervous do Fri & Sat. (ideal would be Fri & Sun) If the dog is local & you are using Fresh

might not be a bad idea to pull a progesterone on the day of breeding to confirm where she was when you bred the 1st time.

Re: which day is day one?

Ovulation day is day 0. So if your girl ovulates on Sunday and you want to breed on day 2 and day 4, you would breed on Tuesday and Thursday.
Good Luck
