This Girl Has been Bred on and off since late october. I have been gone alot, so i may have missed ovulation. SHe hasn't eaten in almost 3 months. She feels thicker than i've ever felt her. She has been sitting on the cold side for the past 2 weeks. This looks way to stretched out to be ovulation. I may be off my rocker, but thought i would get some opinions.

If she's laying cold she has not ovulated yet. If she looks swolen it may be because she has large folicles. Put your male back on her. She will lay cold until she ovulates and then start hugging the heat. About two weeks after ovulation she'll go into a pre-lay shed.
Gravid females hug the heat and do not lay cold. Put your male back in... more copulations will trigger the ovulation.
Good Luck,
Oz

You should palpate her to see 'where things are at'.
It isn't perfect, but you can usually feel developing
follicles, and you will usually be able to feel (and
count!) large eggs if she is close to delivering.
Good luck!
