Could Practitioner Have Mistaken The Cervical Mucous For Remaining Semen?

Just had my paragraph removed yesterday after 2 years. After it was removed the practitioner told me I was ovulating. Husband and I had sex the night before. How concerned should I be? Could practitioner have mistaken the cervical mucous for remaining semen?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The thin cervical mucus can be mistaken for semen but the smell of semen is different which helps in diagnosis. You can use a ovulation prediction kit to find out.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
