Handling females with follicles
I have witnessed different approaches to this topic on YouTube, which is the cause for my apprehension. I would assume that they could be handled normally as the pressure on the region would be no different than when they are simply laying down. However, especially after ovulation where the follicles now become eggs, is there a certain way to hold them? For example, instead of letting them cling to an arm, support their entire body with both arms so it acts like a plane. That, assuming I get the response of yes, you can handle normally, palpation would still be safe correct? I appreciate the feedback. If you need me to clarify, simply ask. I could be over thinking this; I'm told I that a lot

I do tend to support their back third during the handling.

Re: Handling females with follicles
Is palpating still okay though? If so, it'd make it a lot easier to know if the female ovulated judging by the size of what you feel.

Re: Handling females with follicles
Palpating should be ok if she is relaxed enough - though I suck at counting eggs after ovulation.
After ovulation I tend to leave them alone for that reason.
