Draminski help
Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2018 10:44 am
WE need to AI in the next cycle and have been struggling with our gilt whom is a hard one to detect estres in. I just discovered the draminski tool a few days ago and ordered. I believe we are coming out of a cycle. Last cycle she got really chatty and began swelling then continued to swell for 7 days with the latter few days being very swollen and pink/red. No standing/popping or increased mucosal production detected. So this estres she again began swelling last Saturday and has shown no other signs. I received my draminski Tuesday night and got a read of 500. Wednesday am her vulva had really ballooned again 370 was my am reading (but I had difficulty getting it to slide very far in ) 4 hours later I retook on lunch break and go 440. This am got a 500 again. I believe my first reading was the end of ovulation on the upswing and will continue to take daily for a few days then every other day until I get close again...My plan is to AI at drop and again 12 hours later (unfortunately I will have to guess at the bottom of where the drop is) I am also wondering if I should order a 3rd dose and hit her 3 times because of this.
My question is is there a trick to help with ease of insertion? without lubricant it is just so resistant and I fear causing tissue trauma to skin that is not primed to stretch at this point? The first night I was able to get in the probe in past the two metal bands but not as far as the instructions seem to think I should and could do my turns. The next morning I could barely get the bands past her vulva lips and turning was so difficult and uncomfortable for her. The 2nd read that day was a bit easier then the 3rd this am again was very difficult barely past swollen lips and turning really wasn't an option at all and it was very uncomfortable again.
Any addition pearls are very welcome and appreciated!!
