Is it a lump, or is the whole lower part of her body swollen.

No you should be good. You can stop breeding her now. Once they ovulate the eggs cant get fetilized anymore.
Good job. Go to this website and follow the directions..

after ovulation, make sure your temps are back up to normal. eggs don't develop nearly as well in lower temps. that's about the only potential problem i can think of. good luck, the rest is fun. kd
