Stretchy, sticky mucus

I started the pill two months ago after I had my daughter and from TTC for so long I’m very aware that the sitcky, clear mucus was an indication of ovulation. I just started having that same mucus and I’m shitting bricks because I don’t want to get pregnant! My question is- can you still get that same discharge but it not be ovulation? This might sound stupid. Trust me, I know lol
