If you are truly very concerned you may want to make an appointment at your local clinic/doctor's office for a pregnancy test as those sort can tell before your missed period if you are indeed pregnant.
It only takes one sperm to fertilize your one egg. Just because your ex-boyfriend did not completely ejaculate he did PRE-ejaculate. His body is constantly producing sperm just as your body is constantly preparing a good environment for the sperm to travel to the egg in. You are able to get pregnant ANY TIME you have sexual intercourse--even when you're on your period!
This being said, you really need to use some sort of protection to help lower the chances of pregnant and STD/STI transmission. Condoms are very cheap and come in different sizes, colors, flavors, and styles. The price of a box of condoms is no match to the price of a baby.
If your period is late by a few days you may be able to purchase a home pregnancy test (not as good as a doctor's office) and take one. They sometimes can say negative/not pregnant when you are pregnant though (it's impossible for them to say you're pregnant when you're not though) so you may want to test on a couple of the sticks.
Please get yourself informed and stop risking your body so much. It is very, very easy to become pregnant--it only takes ONE time and ONE sperm. Even if he did not fully ejaculate in you, he did release some pre-ejaculatory fluid (natural, all guys do it, and they cannot prevent themselves from doing it) which always contains some sperm--remember, ONE is all it takes.
Engaging in sex means always taking the risk of becoming pregnant. Again, it takes only one sperm to fertilize your one egg. They are designed to do everything possible to ensure reproduction. Your body also does just about everything it can do to make sure the sperm can successfully fulfill their duty. Because of this, you are 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).
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. Find a form of "protection" other than the pull-out method if that's what you two have been doing. The pull-out method is NOT effective, please be aware of that.
I hope that I've helped you gain some knowledge and you alter your recent behaviors. Please feel free to ask me questions if you need :) [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]

However, there is always that 1% chance and even when the guy doesn't ejaculate there is always a chance of pre-cum leaking into the vaginia. Please take a pregnancy test.
cutiekate777 answered Sunday August 17 2008, 2:53 pm: Whether he came or not you could be pregnant. There is always the possibility of getting pregnant during sex, protected or unprotected, ESPECIALLY unprotected. Even if a guy "holds it in" he can still get a girl pregnant. Having back aches, mood swings, and cravings could be unrelated, especially since it doesn't seem that you're far along (you haven't mentioned missing a period) so you can't be sure yet. Take a pregnancy test or wait and see if you miss your period (though sometimes women don't miss their first period.) [ cutiekate777's advice column | Ask cutiekate777 A Question ]
