- Rahima Razak ya its common for the owners to miss the first two days... i read that the progesterone level maintains above 2.5 ng from from 8th to 12 th day.. so they tell 9th day and 11th day... because everytime testing and mating is very difficult...its just a crude method to do ...said and proved by many articles..but i do agree with u that vaginal cytology is must...
