Longest gestation????

Sloas Apr 19, 2006 06:05 PM

I have a 5 year old female that is fairly small by normal BCI standards at only 5 ft.I had her due date marked at march 13 and she still hasnt dropped.If I have done the math right today makes 151 day pos.Is it possible I mistook her pre-ovulation swell for an ovulation and then missed the actual ovulation and my count is off?(probably so huh)Her last meal was Jan. 27 I believe.She has completely refused food since.I guess my question is,is it possible that she retained the sperm and actually ovulated at a later date?Thanks for any and all replies.JOHN!

A good friend of mine is also in day 150ish. While it is uncommon it's not unheard of.

I've read they CAN go 6 months for gestation, but have not heard of any accounts of them actually going that long.
