OK, so now we've completed the first progesterone test on Karma today. This is day seven in her heat cycle. Last time she was bred, she didn't ovulate until day 21, so, we will do this test several times in order to pin point exactly when we need to have Slick's semen shipped to us.
We will know what the numbers are tomorrow. She needs to be above 5 nanograms to time this correctly.
It all sounds so complicated, but, it's just a lot of time & expense....thank goodness we don't have to ship our girls to the stud dog any more....that's the way we used to do it...that or drive, which, a trip to Colorado would be impossible, either way you look at it. Flying is too hot & driving that far is not do-able. Science is a wonderful thing, & we've come a long way!
I'll be posting Karma's numbers tomorrow!
