I figured I would update this thread as a learning tool for other newbies like myself.
I thought for sure this girl had ovulated because I saw her get thicker even though she wasn't eating. Then I saw a big lump in her that I thought was egg building. The thing that was weirding me out was that the lump was only about 4 inches long in her body. I figured the lump would be a longer length of her body if it were eggs unless she had like 2 inside her.
Well look what I opened the tub to today:
Maybe those pics don't highlight it but she's MASSIVE. We're talking... wait for it... LIKE SHE SWALLOWED A NERF FOOTBALL.
When people say "you'll know it when you see it" about an ovulation - they were not kidding. This is unmistakable. She's about as thick around as the wide part of my forearm. It's actually quite remarkable.
What people don't talk about as much is that even up to a week before the ovy there is a distinct swelling in the mid body that you also can't miss if you're looking for it. This is not like "she looks thicker" this looks like she ate a tennis ball. The tennis ball seems to turn to a nerf football when the ovy happens.
I'm very excited right now
