Follicle Question, Size, Fertilization, Duration

[mooingtricycle]

I have an interesting question, At least... to me.

In Two, possibly three of my females, i feel follicles, One of them has about... dime/penny sized follicles, while the other has nickle sized follicles. The third, are still small, but present ( but she is in QT ).

Generally, how long, once you feel follicles of these sizes... do they stick around while the female is receptive?

What size, GENERALLY is their... I would guess to say, maximum size before you know the female is gravid ( I realize go until ovulation, but if that is missed for one reason or another...)

Id just be interested to know, ones experience when they start to feel follicles in the females, and about how things go, and what they think during that timeframe as to whether or not the female took, or will take.

Im not looking for definites here, but some detailed information ( technical is quite alright, and to be honest, i really would prefer EXPERIENCED opinions on this matter...)

Im looking for absolutely as much information as one is willing to provide * not website links, ive seen them! I did a few searches on the site for the follicle topic, and didnt really come up with anything that answered my questions* Its possible i missed the info though
