Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy. The withdrawal method (pull-out) is only about 80% effective, even when done correctly. During foreplay and prior to ejaculation, the penis will leak pre-ejaculatory fluid (pre cum). This fluid can contain sperm, which could result in pregnancy. Therefore, pregnancy can occur, even if ejaculation does not take place in the vagina.
Consider using condoms consistently or beginning a reliable, long term method of birth control, like birth control pills or DepoProvera injection. Keep in mind that emergency contraceptives, like Plan B, are available over the counter to women 17 and older. It helps prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation. Plan B is not a long term method of birth control and should not be used frequently. Repeated/frequent use may actually increase the risk of pregnancy.
If your next period is more than 1 week late, perform a pregnancy test.
