Is She Gravid or Just Getting Really Fat?

I'm trying to find out if my bearded dragon is gravid or just getting very fat the last few days. She mated with my male about a week ago. I need to know so I dont up her calcium and food and risk causing other issues. The first pick is right after brumation the second is today.

I don't have experience in this but I read somewhere that you can feel the eggs in her belly if she is gravid. Not sure if that is right or not.

You can sometimes between 2-3 weeks but all she wants to do is eat mostly live food and I'm worried about giving her to much if she's not gravid.

she does look possible gravid to me. But when my female laid eggs, we really could only see or feel them after about three weeks so one week might be a bit too early to tell for sure.
I don't think raising her calcium intake would hurt just in case. Better to have a little extra than risk her being gravid and having the eggs deplete her of it. Doesn't need to be a lot extra, just some. Some phoenix worms every other day and a good dusting like usual should be plenty.

This is her yesterday after her bath and I think I can feel little bumps in her stomach.
