Re: Ovy or not?!?
I'm not exactly an old pro at this (my first season as well) but from my experience it LOOKS like she's probably still building. The same thing happened with my girl. She blew up, looked huge, I kept thinking "I bet this is it!" but I was reassured consistently that I would know. And trust me. You will know. Scale separation is a dead giveaway, and as fat as she looks right now unless it's a tiny ovulation you will have absolutely no doubt.
Hope this helps! Good luck!!
Edit: Looking at that second picture more closely it's pretty convincing. But I also found photos didn't do it justice for mine!

Re: Ovy or not?!?
I feel like the upper portion of her body continues to go down while her lower portion continues to swell this normal?
So 16days after this post she shed so is it pretty safe to say I have a 30 (or so) day wait for eggs??

The wait may be a little more or a little less so just breathe. Ours went after 27 days. Some I've heard go 45. Never the less it looks like your on your way. As you get closer to the expected day for her to lay, watch for here to start twisting herself up, as she moves the eggs down into a position to push out. She will almost look like a pretzel. Once you see that, it will likely be a day or two. Best of luck and I can't wait to see pictures of the clutch.
