Topic Dog Boards / Breeding / Progesterone Test Fluctuating
- By Dude Dog [gb] Date 05.10.12 18:45 UTC
Has anyone else got experience of blood results fluctuating e.g going down not up? Lab has said probably just variance in early season for a bitch who is probably going to ovulate later in her season. Day 5 was 2nmol/l but Day 8 was 0.5nmol/l. Have been watching her like a hawk so definately didnt miss Day 1 and physically progressing through season as normal, well swolen and bleeding etc.

So has anyone else had anything similar as shes obviously not going to be a textbook bitch also when would you get the next blood taken?

My girl did the same ended up doing 5 tests!

Did they not advise you when to next test? I tested every 2-3 days.

Got the usual, retest in 3 days. Think as it was so low going to leave it 5 days as money does start to become a factor at £48 a time! Have since found a few people who have had girls go down instead of up but does seem to be the rarity, trust my madam to be awkward :)

Just out of interest, can you remember what values you had over your 5 tests and on what days they were? When was she finally ready?
