Can I get pregnant?

Hello,
I cannot stop worrying or thinking about it. Two days ago I had sex for the first time. We were not using a condom(I know fucking stupid), my boyfriend did pull out but he orgasmed just outside my nether region. I could feel the wetness on my skin. As it was first time for me, I didn't register anything until much later. We tried to clean using a towel. He may have fingered me with precum on his hands unknowingly as well.
Also I realized it was high ovulation day of my cycle.
What do I do? I fear I will get pregnant...Please help, this anxiety is killing me.
My boyfriend says he is 100% sure he didn't get it inside, but I am not so sure.
What do I do?

Hi there and welcome to the boards,

I’m sorry to hear this is causing you so much anxiety.
If your partner ejaculated near or onto your genitals, though it’s not very high, there is still a pregnancy risk in this situation. You may be still within the 72 hours window where emergency contraception, aka Plan B, (more about that here: Birth Control Bingo: Emergency Contraception) could still be quite effective in preventing the pregnancy. Is that something you would consider getting? Do you need any help with that?

Also, for the future, condoms or other barrier methods prevent not only pregnancy but also STIs. Would you like some more information or help in learning more about that or getting them?

Hello Andy,
Thank you for being so kind about this. I really appreciate it at this stressful time. Yes I am taking a Plan B pill now just after I post this reply. Its within the 72 hrs window. My worry is, according to my phone period tracking calendar, 21st was supposed to be my ovulation day. Will the pill be effective still?

Also, yes I would really appreciate more information. Its not that I did not know it but I still made dumb choices. So I think I need to re-educate myself.
