Will my female still mate if already pregnant?

Well the title kind of explains it all, but here is some more info.

I have a two bearded dragons, male and female, that I have finally decided to mate as I already have a handful of people requesting to purchase babies from me. This is my first time breeding, and have been researching it non-stop since I finally made the decision; and there seems to be no answer to my question anywhere that I can find. It has been about two weeks since I first put them together to start breeding (I move her to her separate viv during the night and whenever I am not in the house), up until two days ago I had not caught them in the act, and I have seen no real change in my female. Now whenever I put them together they don't mate, they just sit an bask together, or lick each-other, only after the male asserts dominance of course. Is this a sign that she is pregnant? Or would they continue to copulate even after she has become gravid?

First of all I love your screen name! Second, I really don't know the answer to your question. I've never mated mine nor do I plan to so i'm not really sure what happens when she becomes gravid.
