It's certainly worth a try. It's important to be gentle.
Palpating can be a challenge: it depends on the turtle. Also it may not tell you anything if there are only one or two eggs present. I have females that clamp down hard if I try to palpate them, and I can't always feel eggs present if the turtle is carrying a very small quantity.
