My dog tied. Why no pregnancy signs yet? Could she still be pregnant?

Question

My female GSD was bred on April 9th but I have still not really seen any signs of pregnancy other than she hasn't been eating as much the past week. Should I be seeing other signs if she is pregnant? If the dogs tied for 20 minutes is there a possibility she isn't pregnant? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 8 months old | 80 lbs

Because Pixie tied, there is a possibility that she is pregnant. Typically the more obvious signs of pregnancy are seen until later in a dog's pregnancy, and the only way to know for sure if she is pregnant is to have her seen by a vet. I would wait until at least 45 days after she tied to take her into the vet. At this point, the vet can do x-rays to diagnose that she is pregnant, and will be able to see the puppies on the x-rays to count how many she is having.
