Answer
Hi Daniel

Each female is different, but yes it is possible that this particular female ovulates on her 12th day.  

The egg takes 7 days to mature.  So unless you do progesterone testing you're gambling.  The entire season last about 21 days, so if you don't plan on breeding her back to back. You're going to have keep her and your male separated for a few more weeks.

Good luck
