I believe it's about a month between eggs moving from saddle to underneath and them hatching into shrimplets. I'll move the thread to inverts where you'll get more answers

Life story of one of my cherry pregnancies.
Day 1. Female has saddle, I do partial waterchange
Day 2. Female sheds and goes into hiding.
Day 4. Notice males going crazy trying to find female ' in heat'. See a male jump on the female, looks like a fight.
Day 5. Females saddle has gone and she now has eggs in her undercarriage (this means eggs in saddle have been fertilised).
Day 6 to Day 28. Female goes about her business regularly 'fanning' the eggs.
Day 29. Notice black dots on the eggs (eyes on the young shrimp)
Day 31. Female has beginnings of a new saddle.
Day 32. Eggs have disappeared from undercarriage.
Over next few days notice tiny shrimplets moving around tank.
