A member asked:

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and had sex last night. this afternoon there was what looked like ovulation mucous, no blood. is this the mucous plug? worried!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: During early pregnancy your hormones are elevated. These hormones my increase your cervical mucus, or may increase natural vaginal discharges. There is no concern as long as you are not bleeding or cramping.
