Norn won't give birth C3DS

So I got that notification that said my norn was pregnant, but its been probably 15-20 minutes and she won't lay her egg? Here are some (maybe) problems to troubleshoot?

I found her after the notification and she was sick with Antigen 0 and a Fever toxin. I cured her, she's good now.

She is a norn/grendel splice, mated with a male norn. She's a CFF mix, and she has successfully laid an egg before this.

I used the hoverdoc and figured that she's not producing progesterone, could I inject her with some to help?

I don't have the knowledge to use my genetics kit, so if I can't fix her in game, I'm not sure what else to do.

It might be that the disease damaged her reproductive organs, especially when she used to be able to lay eggs, but now can't. I don't know off the top of my head what antigen causes damage where. A large dose of progesterone is worth a shot (pun intended).
When that doesn't work, there was some CAOS command to just straight-up trigger the egg-laying script of the norn.

If you have the eggernator, you could harmlessly "extract" the egg as well.

According to the Creatures Wiki, Antigen 0 attacks the uterus. Any children she has will be fine, since the damage isn't caused by a mutation, but you might want to sterilize her after she lays this egg to prevent further stuck pregnancies.

Edit:
mesg writ targ 65
is the code to force egg-laying. It might not work if the uterus organ is totally dead, but try it anyway.

Thank you both! I have no idea how to use the code, but if I figure it out I'll update this!

Edit: I figured out how to use it, but it didn't work. Will install the eggernator. Hopefully that works!

Hope you manage to get the egg out of her. Stuck pregnancies are quite frustrating indeed!

Oops, think I messed up the code. Try:
targ norn mesg writ targ 65

@ylukyun: For a shorter variant you could directly use mesg writ norn 65

(Least Likely Reason)Sometimes a norn/specified creature can gain a mutation to where they can get pregnant,but can never lay their egg.

(Most Likely Reason)This norn/specified creature was inseminated with a unfertile norn/unfertile specified creature.

Here are 2 ways you can unstuck your creature:
Pregy Candy:Helps female creatures lay their eggs.This is made by Norngirl,and the coding is made by Razgriz.The candy has lots of starch,protein,and fat for your norn,so its actually a good candy!It also has pregnancy chemicals as well as the lay egg code that will help the creature lay their egg better.For laughs;if your creature eats this candy and is either not pregnant,fertile,or is a boy;then the creature will have a big tummy.Download here.

CAOS Commands:As said above my comment;it is possible to use CAOS to unstuck a female creatures pregnancy.
Code for unstucking a female norn:
mesg writ norn 65






i love waffel! :P

I ended up using the Eggernator-thing, but I will definitely install the candies too! Thanks for everyone's help!!

When the male partner is infertile, no impregnation happens to begin with. If you somehow force it anyway, it might render the child infertile, not the mother.

That is impossible as Papriko said, this is almost certainly a case of the Uterus organ dying due to the damage from bacterial infection. As for a way to extract the egg, I always use the the Eggernator for these scenarios.
