When a female ovulates do you always get eggs or is it possible she could still absorb them? Thanks Chris

I female can absorb egg follicles,but can't absorb after ovulation.

No absorption after ovulation-just make sure it was a REAL ovulation. Folks often mistake swelling from developing follicles for ovulation.

once a female ovulates....it's the point of no return. she will either lay fertile eggs or slugs.

when she has her POS you will see the swollen area....if the swollen area is not significant by the estimated lay date....you should be expecting slugs.....if you see a lump...space....lump...lump....space, this is usually a combination of both.
