Ovulation? Or wishful thinking?

[Cheryl Marchek AKA JM]

I know everyone says it's easy to see when the BPs ovulate~ but somehow I'm never sure that’s what I'm seeing. I can tell when a corn is ovulating by the shape of her body (and people tell me that SHOULD be harder??) but I'm just not sure on the BPs (not enough exp yet~ few more years I'll get the eye for it).

So here are a few I took pics of this morning that I THINK I see ovulation......what do y'all think? (I put the coke can in as a size reference)

So what do y'all think? Look like ovulations or wishful thinking?

I think 15 is ovulating for sure, but the others look like they're just building up to it. I kept thinking I missed Angel's ovulation or that she just wasn't noticeable, but then overnight she blew up like she'd swallowed a football...so I realized all the swelling/chubbyness beforehand was building. :) Good luck Cheryl!
