Follicles aborbed

[Cloudynight1017]

Actually I had both an ultrasound and x-ray done, the ultrasound showed a couple of egg like things, but it was hard to tell what was what without the x-ray. The vet just said it was the follicles.

I donno if this is relevant, but she has just gone into shed, about 2 weeks after the follicles got enlarged and she was bloated.
Might just be a coincidence she is shedding right now, but parthenogenesis is statistically unlikely, I suppose I can research it during the next month so I know what to do.

I would love some babies though, it would be great if it happened.

It sounds like ovulation occurred 2 weeks ago and now she is entering her pre-lay shed. It’s typically 30 days (give or take) after this you should see some eggs. The eggs will pass whether they are slugs (unfertilized egg) or viable eggs with life inside. Did the vet by any chance measure the follicles during the ultrasound? Ovulation occurs when the follicles are around 40-45 mm in diameter (roughly the size of a golf ball). Have you tried palpating? This method is very helpful as they near the lay date. Fertile eggs will feel soft, squishy, and marshmallow like while unfertilized eggs will feel hard.
