Lute - breedable heat?

I have a goat that didn't get bred when she was supposed to, just got the test results today. There is a chance she was bred a couple weeks ago when the other buck jumped the fence. I'd like to lute her and stick her in with the appropriate buck, IF she was bred by the fence jumper, is she likely to get bred with this lute induced heat, or just abort if pregnant? It's dd's boer and now we're a month behind for a fair baby, so we need to get this done.

That would be a NON FERTILE heat, according to the books. Does must go through a regular hormone cycle in order for eggs to develop/be released - something that stops happening when they become pregnant.

You could lute, then wait 10-14 days and lute again - IN season, the 2nd heat is *likely* to be fertile. 10-14 days is the required time for the hormones to prep eggs for release.
