They could drop now or they hang on until the last minute . I'll say about another week do you have plants for the fry to settle in. I kept a lot that way otherwise a lot or maybe all get eaten!!!
 
I disagree with the last post she has those black spots the platy has.

They can be pregnant for three months without giving birth.

The way to tell is they get chased by the other or lie on the bottom.

I let nature take its course and like most ended up taking plants out until they bred no more.
swap around gets better strain than inbred.

Enjoy
