For us personally, it was just easier since Cody (our stud) is my father's and doesn't live with me. I just wanted to heed the advice I'd been given and only breed them 2 consecutive days...I needed to know which two days. For some, they may not choose this route and can get the same result.

What methods do you use for planning a breeding if you do not use serum progesterone concentration measurement? Does your vet use vaginal cytology, vaginoscopy, or LH (luteinizing hormone) assays as the article suggests? The reproductive specialist who wrote this article recommended using ALL available methods for planning a breeding. This is why I asked the question about progesterone tests and why a breeder wouldn't do it? Is it expensive, inconvenient....what?
This question is for all breeders not just Misty.
