I think i missed her ovulation

BSleeper Apr 12, 2007 02:07 AM

This is why... I been waiting and waiting for her ovulation but still nothing. Now all of the sudden she is about to shed. I noticed her being a little fatter than usual about 1-2 weeks ago but not huge like she should be for ovulation but now im thinking i cought it when she was going back down to regular size or something. She has not eaten since about a week before her last shedso id say a little over 5 weeks ago (i need to start keeping records of this stuff lol). Now is it possible for her to shed again while not having any food in her since then or do you think that maybe i missed it? And just as a refresher ts 27-30 days after pre lay shed till eggs correct?

Yes, it is very possible that you missed actual ovulation and that she may now be going into her prelay shed. I've missed two ovulation so far this year and currently have two girls in prelay shed that I didn't know had ovulated. And yes, 27-30 days after prelay shed is when you can expect eggs. Good luck!
