How long after ov will a female go into the pos and how long before they actually shed?

Text Book I believe would be shed 18 days after ovulation

So that gives you 123 Days birth after ovulation

then 105 days birth after POS

Does that make sense the way i worded that ,hope so

Good luck

When is she officially prego, at ovulation?

rainbowsrus Dec 31, 2009 12:10 PM

The term is Gravid

I don't know about officially but I would consider her gravid at ovulation. Once ovulation occurs, whatever will be is already in motion. ie changing males should make no difference at all in outcomes. Of course knowing when she ovulates is not always easy. Some like this one...


are very obvious. Even more so with additional observations like...

This was her third technical swelling and quite larger than the other two.

Male activity ended on or about that time.

She's now thermoregulating at about 87 degrees

She was due for her POS yesterday, should be any day now.
