Hmmm. Well, first time (three weeks ago) I thought I'd probably gone at it too soon (never thought I'd be experiencing premature ejaculation
first hand!!
) so this time I waited till I was sure ... So of course now I think I maybe waited too long... Anyways, we had one very successful attempt this morning (in as far as getting the lock, getting the semen where it should be - as far as I can tell anyway) but really didn't get it to work at all this evening, and her vulva though still a bit swollen has reduced quite a bit.
One problem I have is she doesn't ever really stand for the pressure on her back - mostly she likes pretty much any physical attention and it's hard to know whether she is 'standing' or not. The vulva swells and almost flashes like a beacon regularly every three weeks so I am pretty sure I know when she is cycling but as to detecting the precise moment when I should give the first bottle, I am a washout.
I did track down some 'Boar Mate' spray which did have a little bit of an effect this morning but not yesterday and not this evening.
One thing that happened this evening which has not happened before is that the semen wouldn't leave the bottle - is it possible to screw too far and get blocked rather than locked?
I will maybe have another attempt tomorrow morning - maybe I was so ham-fisted (
) tonight I just turned her off!
