well isnt brumation induced by temps that are too low or something?

what are your temps, are they right? might not be warm enough for her.

Get her to a vet ASAP. Where her eggs fertile? she could have retained one.

Ok well even if they are fertile she could still retain. I would get her to your local reptile vet ASAP as she definately needs looking at.
