Is she gravid or not??

I have a male and female leopard gecko both two years of age. I intentionally got the two together for a first time breeding. A month and a half ago, I saw my male emerge from the area he and the female were in and began cleaning the male part as they usually are supposed to do after breeding. She was a healthy breeding weight and seemed to be ovulating late. The two geckos get along extremely well also. Just, I can see two pink ovals when I flip her over and place a small amount of pressure on her back. Her stomach area has become thicker (drooping down a bit). Her eating habits have not changed and I have a lay box a few inches full of eco earth. Is she gravid? And if so why has she not lay them yet, if not what is wrong with her stomach??

Some pictures that clearly show the pink ovals would help us determine if she actually is pregnant, and when she is due :) It is pretty much impossible to judge from just a description. Can I ask what the pairing was also? I'm just curious :)

I will post pictures later today, just have to get some off my morning-noon cat fishing in. If I catch a big one I might post a photo of that too. Well, I have quite the interesting pairing of two beautiful geckos of different morphs. The female is a super hypo tangerine carrot tail with the turquoise eyelid marking. She also has bright orange bands instead of all one color. The male is a bandit with lavender rosetts. He also has a pale yellow base coloring and it travels along to a length that you could call it a carrot tail. The male has VERY bright colored eyelids in a vibrant turquoise that I have not seen in a while on a gecko. Beautiful lizards! How do you think the hatchlings will turn out?
