Heat? Or bred?

My 3yr old ND mix doe was supposedly bred by my Boer buck. I did not see it happen but I did see him chasing her around. That was in July. Her due date was November 23.
Well I fed them this morning, nothing suspicious going on, everything is normal. Now a few minutes ago I hear her in the pasture screaming! I run outside and all the other girls are in the back of the pen browsing, she is pacing the front fence looking towards the buck pen just going insane! Well of coarse all the other girls fly up here to see me. One of the girls starts jumping on her and acting very “Bucky” towards her. Her hind end is all red and irritated looking and she’s wagging her tail a lot.
So my question is: is she pregnant or have I been thinking that she’s pregnant for 4 months?
No blood test is available.

Alright thanks. Bummer. I'm putting the buck with the girls on the fifth, so we'll see what happens. She must be just really fat! I know she loves her peanut butter (garlic hidden within of course hehe)!
I totally understand the frustration. Really, the best way is to have the blood test done or ultrasound if you think they are bred. Ultrasound I have heard is 40-60 days possibly bred, and blood test more than 30 days, but closer to 40 days would probably be best especially if you see my thread about Pregnancy test. We just had 4 tested that were 33-34 days post breeding, and 2 were questionable, I'm sure they are pregnant, just not showing enough #'s in their blood just yet. If I had waited until closer to 40 days I bet it would have confirmed it.
