Ramshorn snail eggs

I have gotten three clusters of eggs similar to this one and none of them have hatched. I am almost certain they are ramshorn snail eggs but there is 6 dwarf frogs in the tank also.

Can you tell me if they are ramshorns and if they are, are they fertile? They are 6 days old, 10 days old and 17 days old and no sign of anything inside the eggs.

Do you have to have a male and female ramshorn or are they truely hermaphroditic?

I have 3 of them, 1.5", 1.25" and .5 inches. If I need a male and a female, how can you tell?

I do want to breed them so any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think it takes like 3 weeks for the eggs to hatch, also most ramshorns snails are asexual.
