So here is the question??? I have a 3 yr old salom female that is on the small size to breed (5ft) good body weight. But I put a male in with her just to see. Well she took I saw several breeding and 118 days ago she appered to ovulate. The only issue that has me wondering is she has shed three times, with the most reccent being at day 109. Does this mean she is not gravid???

Some will have interim sheds, seems none of them can read the manual on proper breeding cycles! 
I would count 105 days from the shed after she appeared to ovulate as your due date. If that was an ovulation 118 days ago, she's just about due. Looks swollen? upper body thinning out? Been staying on the heat? All proper signs.
Of course a 3 year old female is on the young side and they could have just been going through the motions.
