I reduced the dose to 2.25 a couple cycles ago after I delayed the shot because I didn't want to shoot at the number she was. I'm delaying again this cycle on a PSBG of 133. Now she has 116 at +15.25. Looks like a skip, probably. Hopefully she will straighten out sometime soon.

+16.5 101

How flexible is your shooting schedule? If you were to go ahead and feed, could you test again in 2 hours and then shoot and still be able to shoot 12 hours later in the morning?

Another option would be to try shooting two, 18 hour cycles.....so you'd test at what would be your +6 tonight and if high enough to shoot, shoot then....then skip the morning shot and be back on your normal PM shot time tomorrow night

I can be pretty flexible. I've been feeding, but she is continuing to drop!!

 

[julie & punkin (ga)]

When you say that you've been feeding her, do you mean you gave her a regular dinner meal? Or just a teaspoon or two of food?

And what kind of food? LC? MC? HC?

 

[Julie and Eleanor (GA)]

Sorry I disappeared, she started to come up a smidge so I decided to sleep while I could. I guess I'll just reduce the next dose by .25, it just seems weird for her to continue to drop so far past the cycle.
I feed raw, it was about a tablespoon, she kept wanting food.

 

[Gill & George]

I wouldn't drop the dose at the next shot, she didn't drop below 90, which is the reduction point for SLGS.

The depot can be responsible for numbers continuing to drop when you skip the shot. As the depot drains you will more than likely see those numbers start to rise.

If you don't want to get of schedule, feed her now before +16 so that at +18 if she is high enough you can shoot (giving yourself the two hour margin so that you know that the number at +18 is not food influenced)

Do you understand how the two back to back 18 hr cycles work?

Wow Eleanor, what are you upto sweet girl? She's doing great Julie and hope you're feeling good too. I must have missed her condo the last day or so.
