about a year ago there was some talk about a new progesterone test that hit the market. it was the type where you dropped blood in one window and color changed in the other. Looked similar to the relaxin test.
There was also talk about breeders using urine in the test.......any new news on this test or did it fall to the wayside?
I think the breeder offering it was Maurreen. I can't remember her last name or full kennell name. O wait. Nim*something. She's on here allot.She should reply if it's ready to be sold.I'm interested too since my best breeder friend bbf does permate with colour change to.
I purchased and used it once while also running progesterone test{Idexx} at the same time. Two of us could not see any color changes throughout the series of tests we ran. For me I will stick to the test I get numbers from.

I used it and was it a waste of money! The color you are trying to match is a different color than the color in the pamplet that you are trying to match. The color on their website is different also. At least with Premate you have two colors to compare to. Use Premate. Endocrene is aweful!
