My kittens are 3 months old. She hasnt been showing any signs...yet. But i keep a close eye on both of them. As soon as they start 'hinting', im making an appointment with the vet.

Yes, it could be too late because you have a male and a female. Female could get pregnant before 6 months. Maybe you should look for another vet. My vet also didn't want to do it before 6 months, but I have two males, so there was no chance of them mating. LOL.

I'd talk to the vet and see what she recommends. If the vet recoomends aborting the kittens I'd listen to her and do it.

I think you've made a wise decision.

You had no choice but to have her spayed.
I got lucky...our vet suggested it would be best to wait until they were 6 mo. old. When my cats, a brother & sister, were about 5 3/4 mo. old, I spotted Dexter biting his sister Sadie, on the neck and attempting to mate. They both went right to the vet for their operations. Just in time......
