At what point do the eggs become fertilized?

Nope, not at all.
They are slugs from early on, they do not turn into slugs if they don't become fertilized.
I've heard the theory about slugs being caused by males, doesn't make any sense to me at all.
If you palpate, early on especially, but even later too, you can feel slugs far before ovulation.
If the female doesn't store any sperm, or doesn't release the stored sperm you would have infertile eggs.


The follicles are typically about 44mm at ovulation.

Jerry, is there anyway to explain how the slugs feel different from a good healthy follicle? Or is it just a feeling you have acquired over time and noticing how certain follicles have felt different and they end up being slugs?
