possibility of pregnancy?
my boyfriend and i had unprotected sex two days ago...
i think i'm late enough into ovulation for that to cause pregnancy...
but he pulled out and he didn't pre-cum inside me...
what's the probability that i'm still pregnant? how soon can i find out?

Apparently you're quite confused about what ovulation is and how sex works regarding reproduction.
You see, a woman ovulates, roughly, 14 or 15 days from the beginning of her last period; however, if your period is not a perfectly exact 28 day cycle then this can be thrown off. Ovulation lasts a few days. Your body's temperature slightly changes during this time and you secrete more cervical mucus to ensure there is enough for sperm to travel in properly. During this time sperm that entire your body are able to live slightly longer than usual. Sperm typically can live in a woman's body for 5 - 7days, though it is not unheard of to find a few still alive at the two week mark.
It only takes ONE sperm to fertilize your one egg. Sperm are well equipped to find their way to their goal and they will do anything to ensure fertilization. A man's pre-ejaculatory fluid can be hard to distinguish after engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse because it is a smaller quantity and is thinner. Yes, it is likely it contacts sperm that can still impregnate you just the same.
I also want to note that EVERY man will "pre-cum" during sexual intercourse. He has no control over this and it is a natural process of sex. It happens quite a bit before complete ejaculation so the pull-out method usually does not work for this. If he indeed pulled out to "pre-cum" then he should not have reinserted his penis in you as some fluid left on the penis could have contained sperm. Also, it's impossible for him to have sexual intercourse with you and not "pre-cum" yet be able to pull his penis out before complete ejaculation.
Also, ovulation is actually when you are at your peak fertility zone. Basically, you are equally fertile every day of your cycle, including the days you are on your period. The only time you are more fertile than usual is when you are ovulating (when the egg has been released from the ovary and begins traveling down the fallopian tubes). So, this means you can get pregnant during ANY day of your regular cycle equally and you have more chance of becoming pregnant during ovulation.
Ovulation tends to last a couple of days. Usually sometime during this travel is when the egg becomes fertilized and it attaches to your uterine wall when it reaches your uterus. Sometimes the egg is fertilized in the uterus; sometimes the egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube way too early and a baby begins to grown in the tube (which can cause MAJOR issues and can be very dangerous).
It can be difficult to tell if you're ovulating or not if you're not keeping a very close track on your daily discharge and internal temperature. Many things can also throw off your regular ovulation cycle such as: stress, hormonal birth control, antibiotics, and major diet changes.
I'm very concerned that you're not knowledgeable of your own body and how things work so I really feel I should add in some details to help you in the future. It is really in your best interest to educate yourself as much as possible about sex (and everything that sex involves) so that you're more prepared for the many possibilities.
There is always the risk of pregnancy. No matter what birth control method you use (even if you use two) it isn't going to be 100% effective on preventing pregnancy and STD/STI transmission. One night of sex can result in creating another life or living with a disease the rest of yours. I know many people who lost their virginity and became pregnant (or had gotten the girl pregnant) the same night.
Here are some very serious facts you want to consider on pregnancy:

You also risk STDs/STIs with each sexual contact. These can render you completely infertile and you won't be able to ever have children. If it doesn't do that, it could hide in you and you could end up spreading it to every partner you ever have without knowing it. Even at that, some STDs can deteriorate the brain and be so severe that they cause a long, painful death years later.
A lot of people have STDs/STIs and don't even know it. Many people don't show symptoms. This means that many mothers pass on things to their unborn babies. I'm sure none of us would like to find out 20 years from now that we had contracted HIV/AIDs and that our baby has it too now because we passed it along.

I know what it all comes down to is that it's your life, your body, your decision, and possibly even your mistake. I am really concerned for your well-being though. It is best to keep yourself informed and well-educated. Please sit down with your partner and discuss the possible outcomes of your sexual activities together. You may also find it helpful to view the above sites with him so that you're sure he is just as informed as you are.
Now, you may want to drop by your local store (Wal-mart, various pharmacy, etc.) and pick up a pregnancy test. If you period is already late by a few days you should be able to get a decent read-out from the test. If you're truly concerned (since these sort of tests can show a false negative--and no, there is no such thing as a false positive) you may want to make an appointment for a pregnancy test in your local clinic. If you have yet to be due for your period then you need to wait until it is considered "late" for the over-the-counter, store-bought pregnancy tests to read accurately.
I hope you become better informed of your body and what you've been doing with your boyfriend lately. Feel free to ask me any questions that concern you regarding this matter.

You can still get pregnant even when you ARE ovulating. The chances are smaller but still there like a 90%on a test compard to a 70% and You cannot tell if someone pre cums imsorry to say. I would get the pregnnacy test to make sure if you miss your period or if you want to know right away go to the doctor so they an do the special test to find out right away

No matter what there is always a chance, you need to buy a preganancy test, I would personally use a few just incase. If the anwser is yes you need to make an appt. with your doctor. (:

chances are high enough for you to need to go buy a pregnancy test and take it. any time a penis is within a foot away from a vagina there is a chance of pregnancy. ok thats an exaggeration, but precum is pretty hard to notice, and pulling out doesnt work either. then there is that whole STD issue. you really should be using protection.
