Question for all you..

"Female palpators" out there: Do you notice that once the females have ovulated that the large follicles, that were once very noticeable in the female pre-ovulation are now very hard to feel post-ovulation?

Very true Mykee, I was just discussing this very topic with a good friend!

Noticed the same thing Mykee. All of my girls who have already ovulated, feel rock hard to the touch! I think thats what you mean...right.

Mike, that's exactly what I mean. It seems that what used to be "mush" between the follicles when you're palpating (which, by the way, made it much easier to palpate), is now just one hard mass to the touch.

Mykee, that is perfectly normal. If you still feel gaps between the eggs after ovulation then you probably will get some slugs. After ovulation they should feel like they ate a big sausage (one hard mass). I hope this helps.
