progesterone testing

I have a hitch that is on day 14 still bleeding but starting to run clearer. Would you wait to test till day 17 which is Monday?

Re: progesterone testing

To draw a progesterone test or to breed?

If you want to know your progesterone numbers I would say test now don't wait. She will most likely be past or right at ovulation numbers so you are a bit late to estimate day of ovulation.

To breed without progesterone numbers. I suggest breed days 14, 16, and 18 for a good cover.

You should do a baseline test by day 8 or 9 so you're way past that. Trying to save money waiting to progesterone test results in misses. It's your choice, I wouldn't have the faintest idea what to tell you without at least 2 or 3 tests.

Re: progesterone testing

What day they are on tells you nothing. What the count is tells you everything. You should do a test now and it might be past the time. The color tells you a little if you are a long, long time breeder.

Re: progesterone testing

I would test every day at this point
