i wouldnt worry too much. i can see the eggs in my female for what seems like a decade before she lays. she has been laying about every 25-28 days and it seems to me like i can see the eggs for at least 2 weeks

Depending on age & experience, they can hold onto them for awhile. Generally 2-4 weeks is what it usually takes females to lay but I've had some first timers take 6 weeks. If she is in fact egg bound, the eggs become very hard inside her. From that point a vet visit is needed but I wouldn't jump to that conclusion yet. How long has she been gravid?
