It's definitely possible that you missed the ovulation and the male no longer needs to be in there.
But, when it comes to breeding there should be a mantra like: "when in doubt, don't pull him out!" So, leave the male in if you have ANY doubts as to whether she's gravid or not.
Good luck and welcome to the forums!
