I could not get the photo to come up. Do you want her to be pg and if so, do you have a plan for fry? What else is in the tank and how large is the tank?

I will add that in my experience it is very hard to tell when they are going to drop the fry. I recently bought two pg mollies. They were so big they looked like they had each swallowed a large bing cherry. Still it was over three weeks before they dropped any fry. On the other hand I bought a couple of small platys some time ago and they never looked pg but continued to have fry a couple at a time over a long period.

The anal fin looks pointed to me, which would make the platy a male.

Pretty hard to tell if a fish is pregnant if you supply a photo of some other fish. Oh well, good luck.
