Discrete-time survival model output doesn't match Cox proportional-hazards model - problem with input of data?

I'm trying to construct a discrete-time survival model to analyse some mating data. I've used a Cox proportional hazards model previously but got some input that the discrete-time survival model would fit my data better.

The previous post and my results I got from R there can be found here and can work as a good background for understanding my output.

When I tried to do the discrete-time survival model I didn't even get close to the results I got from the Cox proportional hazards model. I've reformatted my data to the following format:

Format of data

and the list goes on..

I have three different combinations of A and B that is:

A           B
High        High
Low         Low
Metabolite  Metabolite

I'm interested in comparing when mating occurs between the different treatment (observation round 1-9 - in my dataset called Round) and if mating occur Mating_time = 1 during that round and if mating time didn't occur = 0. I also wan to look at the interaction between A and B (A*B)

I've fitted the data to a glm in the following manner:

mod<-glm(Round ~ Mating_time + A*B,data=dat, family = "binomial")

and then when running ANOVA I get the following output:

> Anova(mod)
Analysis of Deviance Table (Type II tests)

Response: Round
                LR Chisq Df Pr(>Chisq)
Mating_time      0.46970  1     0.4931
A                0.00027  2     0.9999
B                0.00024  2     0.9999
A : B            0.00041  4     1.0000

This is completely different from my previous result posted here (same link as before)

I'm wondering if anyone have a clue what I've done wrong. Should the data instead be coded as 1 for Mating_time for all the observations after mating have occurred?
